We've been studying fractions on grids, but we can apply what we've learned to circles, as well. Here's a game that can help with understanding fractions. When you play the Pizza Game, you have to put the right amount of toppings on the right-sized pizza, based on the customer's order (See the 1, 2, 3 below!). When you get it right, the customer buys your pizza and your pizza "store" earns money! Some orders are simple. For other orders you will need to rename some of the topping fractions to know how much to put on.
