Setup

Gather only common or recycled items needed to fold and cut the paper pizza into equal fraction pieces to match the order. Place the materials beside a simple recording sheet or blank paper, and prepare the Pizza Fraction Restaurant challenge in one working area; no digital device is needed.

Activity

  1. Read a customer's order card and predict how to cut the pizza into the requested fraction.
  2. Fold and cut the paper pizza into equal fraction pieces to match the order.
  3. Fulfill several orders and discover a slice came out uneven, then re-cut it to match the fraction correctly.
  4. Serve the finished orders and tally up how many fractional slices were served that day.
