Pizza Project: A Real-World Fraction Adventure | PBL | Classroom Transformation
Thank you for choosing my Pizza Project! This project-based learning experience engages students through wonder, discovery, and exploration. While much of the work focuses on unit fractions, students follow the same skill pathway used when adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators—supporting a natural transition to non-unit fractions. Along the way, students find common denominators, explore equivalent fractions, and reason about fraction structure using processes that mirr

Identifying Fractions in Simplest Form
This is one of my favorite concepts to teach. This different approach results in a high instructional return. GIVE IT A TRY!! When simplifying fractions, students must determine whether a fraction is already in simplest form—but how do they know? This fraction sorting activity teaches students what to look for when deciding if a fraction is in simplest form, rather than relying on rote procedures. From years of classroom experience, this strategy is easy for students to learn and naturally be
