Pizza Fractions Project!

I wanted to share a fun project my kiddos did.  We had been working on fractions and I wanted to come up with a little fun that would reinforce some of what they learned as well as let them have some fun being creative.  WARNING.....LOTS of pictures ahead....they all were so unique and creative, I had to share them all:)

We were fortunate enough to have a local pizza place donate enough boxes so each of my kids could have one.  This is the first time I have done this project.....I'm sure next time I will add to it but for a first time, I am pleased with it and THRILLED with how they turned out.

 

I typed up an instruction sheet for the kids to follow.  Basically, they were supposed to represent 5 different fractions using different toppings.  They had to include a "key" explaining their fractions.  For each of the 5 fractions they had to write 2 equivalent fractions.  They also had to write 2 word problems to go with their pizza:)

 
Some of them put their word problems on a different sheet or on the bottom:)  I absolutely LOVE how different each project is....some drew theirs, some used construction paper, some used playdoh, buttons, all kinds of creative ideas flowing:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
I'm so proud of my kids and I know they are proud of their projects!  It was fun to see them bring them in every morning and everyone would gather around to take a peek:)  We were also excited because we got to display them in our Science Fair.  I know they aren't Science BUT I felt like they all had put too much work into them for just me to see them.  We got to set up a table to display them so others could enjoy their hard work.

 

Hope this is something you can use in your classroom as you explore and learn about fractions!

Have a blessed day all!
