Who this list is for
The pizza fraction wheel craft is for 7-year-olds practicing early fractions through pretend pizza pieces. The finished cardstock and cardboard circles can be mixed and matched during classroom games.
How to use this list
Start with the fraction circle templates, thin corrugated cardboard circles, ruler, and pencil. Trace and cut pizza sections from brown, red, yellow, and white cardstock using child-safe scissors. Glue the colored pieces onto the cardboard circles, label sections with washable markers, and use round-head paper fasteners where the template calls for a moving wheel.
Common mistakes
Do not cut all pizza pieces into the same size when the fraction templates show different sections. Keep the round-head paper fasteners loose enough for the wheel to move. Avoid gluing the pieces down before checking that the circle sections line up.
What is on this list
The checklist calls for two sheets each of brown, red, yellow, and white cardstock, plus two thin corrugated cardboard circles. It also includes a set of fraction circle templates, two round-head paper fasteners, two glue sticks, child-safe scissors, washable markers, a ruler, and pencil. Cross off what you already own before starting.
When you are done
Sort the finished pizza sections by fraction size so they are easy to use again. Let glued pieces dry flat, then keep the templates and extra cardstock with the classroom game materials.
