Process Continued

• Session Four
• Your final assignment.
• Pretend you are in charge of a 4th grade pizza
  party. Using fraction circle manipulatives,colore
  d pencils, a pizza worksheet, and the pizza
  topping key, you will need to create an original
  pizza math problem. The 4th grade will need 8
  large pizzas (12 slices per pizza - 96 slices
  total).
• Link to all the final project worksheets
• 1. Use the fraction circles to make your
  pizzas. (Cover all 8 pizzas with a variety of
  fraction pieces - DONT USE YELLOW OR BLUE
  PIECES).
• 2. Use colored pencils to make a drawing of
  your pizzas. (Trace each piece and color in
  that fractional amount on your worksheeet).
• 3. Make a math problem for each pizza you
  created. (This is like the challenge problem you
  did with the Tonys Pizza game).
• 4. Combine all of your totals on the pizza
  order form.
• 5. See if you can use this data to create one
  final math problem that will tell the pizza place
  your entire order with one equation.
• (Ex 8/2 cheese 3/3 pepperoni 7/4 sausage
  3/6 onion 2/8 olive 6/12
  ham 8 whole pizzas)
• 6. Turn in your work and give yourself a
  pat on the back!
