I printed off these sheets from the Family Fun website. They look so realistic! We didn't play with them according to the game instructions on the website - but we plan too! I just cut the slices out and started talking to the kids about fractions.
I thought this would be more appropriate for Sarah, but Jillian and Matthew ended up being more interested.
Jillian decided to set up a pizza store. I would ask for 1/2 a pepperoni pizza, or 1/4 or a cheese pizza and then pay her in pennies for the pizza.
She even discovered that a 1/2, a 1/4 and 3/12 will make one whole pizza and that 3/12 is the same as 1/4. This was a great way to have fun with fractions!
