Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have some fun with pizza and learn about fractions. Fractions are a way to show parts of a whole, and what better way to learn than with delicious pizza slices?
Let’s start by looking at some pizzas and matching them with the right fractions. A fraction tells us how many parts we have out of a total number of parts. For example, if a pizza is cut into 3 pieces and 2 pieces are showing, we write that as 2/3. The top number (numerator) tells us how many pieces we have, and the bottom number (denominator) tells us how many pieces there are in total.
Let’s find the pizzas that match these fractions:
This fraction means there are 3 pieces in total, and 2 pieces are showing. Look at the pizzas: one has 4 pieces, another has 3 pieces, and another has 8 pieces. The pizza with 3 pieces and 2 showing is the right one! Let’s circle it.
This fraction means there are 4 pieces in total, and 3 pieces are showing. Count the pieces: one, two, three, four. Now, see if 3 are showing: one, two, three. That’s it! We found our 3/4 pizza. Great job!
This fraction means there are 5 pieces in total, and 2 pieces are showing. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That’s too many! Let’s try another pizza. There are 2 pieces, but that’s the total, so that’s not right. Now, let’s check here: one, two, three, four, five. Perfect! We have 5 pieces, and 2 are showing: one, two. That’s 2/5! Let’s circle it.
This fraction means there are 6 pieces in total, and 5 pieces are showing. Count the pieces: one, two, three, four, five, six. Now, see if 5 are showing: one, two, three, four, five. We found it! It’s the first pizza, which is 5/6.
You did an amazing job with pizza fractions today! Now that you know how to match fractions with pizza slices, you can practice with other foods or objects around you. Keep having fun with fractions, and maybe treat yourself to some real pizza later. See you next time!
Pizza Fraction Hunt: At home, ask an adult to help you make or buy a pizza. Before eating, cut the pizza into different numbers of slices. Try to create fractions by eating some slices and leaving others. For example, if you cut the pizza into 8 slices and eat 3, what fraction of the pizza did you eat? What fraction is left? Write down the fractions you create and draw a picture of your pizza to show the fractions.
Fraction Art: Use colored paper or draw on a sheet of paper to create your own pizza. Divide your pizza into different numbers of slices, like 4, 6, or 8. Color some slices to represent different fractions. For example, color 3 out of 4 slices to show 3/4. Share your pizza art with a friend or family member and explain the fractions you created.
Fraction Detective: Go on a fraction hunt around your house or classroom. Look for objects that can be divided into parts, like a chocolate bar, an apple, or a sandwich. Try to divide these objects into equal parts and identify the fractions. For example, if you cut an apple into 4 equal pieces and eat 1, what fraction of the apple did you eat? Discuss your findings with a friend or family member.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Today, we’re going to work on pizza fractions. I love pizza! Let’s circle the pizzas that match the fractions. We’ll take a look at the fractions over here and find the pizza that represents each fraction.
The first fraction is 2/3, which means there are three pieces total, and two of them are showing. This one has four pieces, so that wouldn’t be it. This one has three pieces, and this one has eight. Since there are three pieces here and two are showing, this is the correct answer! I’m going to circle that piece of pizza.
Now, let’s move on to the next one. The next fraction is 3/4, which means there are four pieces total, and three of them are left. Let’s count: one, two, three, four. That’s four pieces total. Now, let’s see if there are three left: one, two, three. That’s it! I don’t need to check the rest because I’ve already found my fraction 3/4. Nice job!
Next, we have 2/5, which means there are five pieces of pizza total, and two are left. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That’s not right; there are seven total. Let’s check the next one. There are two pieces, but that’s the total number, so that’s not correct. Now, let’s check here: one, two, three, four, five. There we go! We have five total pieces, and we need to see if there are two left: one, two. That is 2/5! We’ll circle that one.
Finally, the last fraction is 5/6, which means there are six total pieces, and five are left. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six. There are six total pieces. Now, let’s see how many are left: one, two, three, four, five. There we go! We found it; it’s the first one, which is 5/6.
Great job with your pizza fractions today! I think I’m going to go have some pizza. See you later! Bye! Don’t forget to like us and subscribe to our channel. Find links to our apps in the comments below.
