Pizza Fraction Clip It Cards

If your children are learning about fractions, these  quick and easy pizza
fraction clip-it cards will help consolidate their understanding. They are a fun
way to practice recognizing and reading fraction names for halves and
quarters. Kids can even make their own!

Getting Ready
I downloaded the free printable (below). Then I printed the pages onto
cardstock and cut them to separate. (You could also  laminate if you want
extra protection.)

Since we would use little clothespins for clipping the correct answers, I

grabbed a pack for just a few dollars. You could also use paper clips if you
don’t have pegs. They work just as well!
The Activity
To play, children looked at each pizza, counted the parts and clipped their
peg to the correct answer.

The pizzas are all divided into 2 parts or 4 parts to help children understand
that the bottom number of a fraction tells them how many parts will make up
one whole. Once they determined that bottom number, they then counted up
how many pieces of pizza were on the dish to figure out the top number of
the fraction.

Please note that instead of writing ‘one whole’ these cards use ‘two halves’
or ‘four quarters’ so it’s important that children understand that they are the
same.

There is one pizza that has both 2/4 and 1/2 as possible correct answers.
This is a good opportunity to talk about how and why both fractions equal the
same amount of pizza!
