Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is 1/3 + 1/3? What is the denominator in a fraction, and what does it represent? Can fractions be subtracted? Can you convert 8/5 to a mixed number?
After the Game
How did slicing the pizza into more pieces change each slice's size, and what part of the fraction tells you how many equal slices to make? If two customers ordered pizzas—one asking for 3/4 cheese and another asking for 3/8 cheese—which customer got more cheese on their pizza and why? Why do two fractions need to have the same (like) denominator before you can add or subtract their slices, and what would you have to do to the pizza slices if the denominators were different (unlike)?
