⭐ Pizza Fractions is a project based learning unit is themed around working in a pizza restaurant. Students will solve fractions, multiplication and division problems, and other word problems based on running a pizza restaurant.

⭐ Students prepare and serve pizzas based on fractions. Students follow instructions to identify equal pizza slices, partition pizzas into fractions, add toppings to pizzas to make fractions, and answer various story problems about fractions and their pizzas. Additional challenge activities engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.

⭐No prep, print and go!
