Pizza Fraction Fun Game, 13 Fraction Pizzas, 67 Piece Game, Ages 6+

Here's a fun and flexible way to learn fractions for kids of all ages. Who doesn't love pizza, right? Kids relate to it because pizza naturally uses fractions. I appreciate a kid-friendly way to teach fractions that's not cake, pie or candy. I'm not a big fan of teaching or playing with desserts because somehow it always leads to the kids wanting candy - the power of suggestion?! Seven game instructions are included, and the possibilities expand from there. When kids play these games, they build a concrete sense of how fractions are parts of a whole, fraction equivalents, addition and subtraction. Pizza naturally lends itself to word problems and everyday application, and there are several problem solving activities included. The pieces are made of a sturdy cardboard and stand up to a good amount of kid use. This is a great way to play and have fun while teaching and reinforcing fractions!

This thing is awesome! I bought it for my 6 year old who is in Kindergarten but the game is made for grades 3-5 (but would work for review with older kids). There are variations for younger folks but not many. My son has been able to play the easiest 3rd grade games so far. With some creativity and basic understanding of math, you could also easily make up your own games as well. There's a spinner and 6 different "boards" the spinner can go on to change the rules for the game. There are several pizzas made from cardboard with realistic pictures of pizza and fractions written on one side. I read one review that said "you cannot even put the pizzas back together after you've taken them apart".... Well, yeah, that's kind of the point. This is a fraction game and it's meant to be put back together temporarily not permanently! It is fun enough though, that the child doesn't know they're learning! The best way to make them learn--make it fun!

Gives my daughters such a good visual and hand held learning. Love these. Can be used many different ways! Holds the value so can be reused and or resold.

Absolutely the best and most entertaining way to teach fractions to kids without them knowing they are learning.!!!! I home school my third grade 8 year old son, and we are just beginning fractions/multiplications etc., and he absolutely LOVES pizza, so when I saw this I knew it was a must!!! We have already played this so many times, and I can tell he is starting to get a good baseline for fractions, and he isn't even aware that it's educational!! He really enjoys board games, and thinks if he's "playing a game," it's playtime, so now that I'm homeschooling him, I have taken several different approaches to my teaching.. I figured if I can get the whole family "playing" several games, being educational or not, he's picking up on the fundamentals of the game itself. He's absorbing it somewhat like "metamorphosis," and I couldn't be happier! I know for a fact he didn't get to approach subjects like this in public school, and I can see it's paying off!! Sometimes, catering to your child's learning needs are the best way to approach their education..Like Plutarch said, "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."

Great for homeschool. The game itself doesn't teach fractions, but it's a great companion game to support your math curriculum. There are many ways to play this game so it can be easy or as complicated as you want to make it. We changed some rules on game one to make it more interesting. The my kids enjoy it and keep asking to play it more.

As a teacher, I was trying to figure out a fun way to teach fractions to my 4th grade students. After frantically searching for a few hours, I finally found this product. I was a bit apprehensive when I purchased it at first but now I'm glad that I did. I absolutely love the game, especially since it comes with directions for seven different games to use with your students. This helped a lot of my students understand how to add and subtract fractions. Not only that, they were actually begging me to play this game. I will definitely purchase math games from Learning Resources in the future. I can't wait to try out more games from them in the future. If you are a teacher or if you are a parent, this is a great way to teach math to children!

Pizza Fraction is a deliciously engaging learning resource. My students learning about fractions with this interactive tool. Visualizing pizza slices makes complex concepts easy to digest . Fun , effective, and appetizing!5/5 stars

Good grief! Silly game and my kids LOVE it!! They ask every day - "Pizza game???" There are SO many ways to use this game to learn about fractions. The included booklet gives instructions for many games. The pieces are very realistic looking (as in, you will find yourself wanting pizza for dinner, lol) and sturdy, decent sized. Great addition to a math curriculum!

Bought for my grandson who was struggling with math

Conforme aux attentes, adaptée pour xaire découvrir les fractions en CE2

Il materiale coloratissimo e resistente e la varietà dei giochi proposti (istruzioni completamente in inglese) lo fanno apprezzare come gioco molto divertente! E' questa una dote importante: non si tratta di un gioco educativo, come accade spesso, noioso e ripetitivo. Anzi! Il piacere di giocare è pieno ed autentico, ed i bambini imparano in maniera naturale e inconsapevole!

Bueno

I bought this game for my preschool grand-daughter as she likes eating pizza, enjoys fitting puzzles together, likes to pretend to shop,cook and serve and happily uses the game in all these ways without realizing that she is getting to understand aspects of size, quantity, fractions and wholes, and category matching too! What a great way to have fun and absorb some useful maths at the same time. The pieces are strongly made and attractive to look at, and will probably last for many years. One suggestion for the manufacturers - could the kit include a round pizza tray that can fit inside the storage box? This would help when putting slices back together, and give a constant reminder of the size of the 'whole' to compare with the sizes of the fraction slices. I thoroughly recommend this game to any one with pre-school or primary school children.
