Pizza-ing Together Fractions in Year 3

Pizza was on the Maths menu for National Pizza Day today at Prep…!

As a practical way to understand fractions, Year 3 pupils first created some paper pizzas. They then worked in groups to solve fraction problems, using the pizzas to find 1/2s, 1/3s, 1/4s and 1/8ths of different numbers.

Having worked so hard, they then put their practical maths skills to good use on a real pizza; making sure everyone got an equal piece of the pie.
