Fractions Pizza Project

This is a Pizza Fractions Project!

This activity is designed to be done over the course of two days, at the middle or end of a 3rd Grade Fractions unit.

I decorated my classroom to look like an Italian restaurant and had pictures of Italy on the Smartboard. I also made an Italian music station on Internet radio and had spaghetti sauce (with breadsticks for dipping) in the crockpot!

Students wore paper chef hats, which were inexpensive on Amazon. The pizzas they created were done in pizza boxes, but you could use long construction paper or poster board, just as easily.

I also had students do a close reading about the history of Pizza, which I got from Learnzillion.

You will need to run the pizza template and toppings off on colored paper or cardstock and I had them cut out in advance, to save time.
