Pizza Fractions PBL - 3rd Grade Math Project Based Learning

⭐ Pizza Fractions is a project based learning unit based around working in a pizza restaurant. Students will solve fraction and word problems based on preparing and serving pizzas.

⭐ Students follow instructions to identify equal pizza slices, partition pizzas into fractions, add toppings to pizzas to make fractions, and answer various story problems about fractions and their pizzas. Additional challenge activities engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.

⭐No prep, print and go!
