Pizza Fractions

We began fractions this week and today we used pizza to help the girls understand larger fractions, such as thirds, fourths and eighths.  The girls had to fill in a class riddle of who ate their pizza, how many slices they ate, and then had to write the fraction of pizza left.  It was a lot of fun and the girls got a kick out of the different people who ate their pizza!  At the end of our lesson, the girls created their own pizza which they will use tomorrow for their own riddles.
