Lesson Introduction: The Pizza Party Challenge

Imagine this: You and your friends are planning the ultimate pizza party! 🍕 But there's a twist! You have to figure out how to share the delicious pizzas fairly among everyone. Today, we’re going to dive into the world of fractions to help solve this tasty puzzle!

A Delicious Scenario

Picture this scenario:

• You ordered 2 large pizzas, and they come with 8 slices each.
• There are 4 friends, including you, joining the party.

Your mission: Share the pizzas equally among your friends and find out how many slices each person gets.

Getting Started

Before we get started on our pizza-sharing adventure, let’s put on our ‘fraction hats’!

1. Read the Scenario: Take a moment to think about how many slices there are in total.
2. Count Together: How many pizzas do we have? How many slices are in each pizza?

Discussion Questions

• How many slices of pizza are there altogether?
• If we share these slices equally among the 4 friends, how many slices does each person get?

Let’s grab our pencils and paper. We’ll use drawings and numbers to help us understand fractions better!
