Comparing Fractions with Pizzas!

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students compare the size of pairs of fractions using visual pizza models. Designed for students in the middle and upper years.

Learning Objectives:

  • Compare the sizes of fractions by using visual models.
  • Develop the ability to recognise which fraction is larger or smaller.
  • Practise identifying fractions as parts of a whole through visual comparison.

How the Activity Works:

In this engaging cut-and-paste activity, students are presented with pairs of pizzas, each representing a fraction of a whole. They compare the size of the fractions (e.g., 7/8 vs. 3/4) to determine which monster ate the most pizza. Using the provided visual pizza models, students cut and paste to match the correct pizza sizes and answer the questions. This activity promotes fraction comparison in a fun, interactive way.
