f is for fraction (pizza style)

8 Feb

one pizza cut in 8 pieces is still one pizza.

two halves make one whole.

if a pizza is cut into four pieces, each piece is a fourth.

    love the pizza theme!! It is great that you introduce fractions… especially on a level that they can relate to and in turn remember when the time comes!!! Good Ideas!!!
