Math - Share a Pizza

I can cut like this!
This afternoon, the children were given rulers, makers, scissors and a piece of circle paper. "How can you cut and share this pizza with 4 people ?" The children manipulated the tools they had to solve the problem. We tried folding the paper, pretending to cut with a plastic knife and using a ruler. 
  

Slowly, we used ruler and makers to draw and to divide the circle into little pieces. Before we cut the circle, the lines we drew helped us cut better!




I helped the children to put down numbers on the slices they cut. We counted the pizza slices and gave each doll a slice.


At the end, we tried to share a pizza with 8 people! That was a lot of slices to cut. The children were really proud of themselves when they achieved this task successfully!
