Math can be satisfying for the mind and the stomach! Incorporate slices of pizza into your fractions lesson with a set of informative resources. After a brief guided lesson on comparing and ordering fractions, young mathematicians practice shading in given fraction parts, and indicate greater than, less than, or equal to. For the independent practice, pairs play a comparing fractions game and complete a pizza-themed worksheet.
