Pizza Fractions. The easiest way to explain fractions is with pizza. The students cut out the toppings and add them to their pizza. Then they write how many are on their pizza out of how many were in the bunch (on the sheet). They glue it on their pizza and color their pizza. You can cut out the pizza and put it on construction paper. An easy, quick, and fun assessment tool. There is a questions page (not shown) to assess their knowledge. (ex. "I have _______ (a fraction) mushrooms on my pizza.)

I hand drew this assessment to see if my students really got the concept of comparing fractions using fraction strips. I told them to take out two different color crayons. They had to color each problem with the two different colors. Then compare the fractions. I noticed, when they were able to "see" the different colors and which fraction was "longer/greater" it help them tremendously. Hope this helps your students too. :)

You can edit it and create what you want. I put the student's name and password, print it out, then laminate them.
