Learning Resources Pizza Fraction Fun Game, 13 Fraction Pizzas, 67 Piece Game, Ages 6+

This thing is awesome! I bought it for my 6 year old who is in Kindergarten but the game is made for grades 3-5 (but would work for review with older kids). There are variations for younger folks but not many. My son has been able to play the easiest 3rd grade games so far. With some creativity and basic understanding of math, you could also easily make up your own games as well. There's a spinner and 6 different "boards" the spinner can go on to change the rules for the game. There are several pizzas made from cardboard with realistic pictures of pizza and fractions written on one side. I read one review that said "you cannot even put the pizzas back together after you've taken them apart".... Well, yeah, that's kind of the point. This is a fraction game and it's meant to be put back together temporarily not permanently! It is fun enough though, that the child doesn't know they're learning! The best way to make them learn--make it fun!

Pizza Fraction is a deliciously engaging learning resource. My students learning about fractions with this interactive tool. Visualizing pizza slices makes complex concepts easy to digest . Fun , effective, and appetizing!5/5 stars

Absolutely the best and most entertaining way to teach fractions to kids without them knowing they are learning.!!!! I home school my third grade 8 year old son, and we are just beginning fractions/multiplications etc., and he absolutely LOVES pizza, so when I saw this I knew it was a must!!! We have already played this so many times, and I can tell he is starting to get a good baseline for fractions, and he isn't even aware that it's educational!! He really enjoys board games, and thinks if he's "playing a game," it's playtime, so now that I'm homeschooling him, I have taken several different approaches to my teaching.. I figured if I can get the whole family "playing" several games, being educational or not, he's picking up on the fundamentals of the game itself. He's absorbing it somewhat like "metamorphosis," and I couldn't be happier! I know for a fact he didn't get to approach subjects like this in public school, and I can see it's paying off!! Sometimes, catering to your child's learning needs are the best way to approach their education..Like Plutarch said, "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."

Here's a fun and flexible way to learn fractions for kids of all ages. Who doesn't love pizza, right? Kids relate to it because pizza naturally uses fractions.I appreciate a kid-friendly way to teach fractions that's not cake, pie or candy. I'm not a big fan of teaching or playing with desserts because somehow it always leads to the kids wanting candy - the power of suggestion?!Seven game instructions are included, and the possibilities expand from there. When kids play these games, they build a concrete sense of how fractions are parts of a whole, fraction equivalents, addition and subtraction. Pizza naturally lends itself to word problems and everyday application, and there are several problem solving activities included.The pieces are made of a sturdy cardboard and stand up to a good amount of kid use. This is a great way to play and have fun while teaching and reinforcing fractions!

My little one's love playing these game. Great way to learn fractions

As a teacher, I was trying to figure out a fun way to teach fractions to my 4th grade students. After frantically searching for a few hours, I finally found this product. I was a bit apprehensive when I purchased it at first but now I'm glad that I did. I absolutely love the game, especially since it comes with directions for seven different games to use with your students. This helped a lot of my students understand how to add and subtract fractions. Not only that, they were actually begging me to play this game.I will definitely purchase math games from Learning Resources in the future. I can't wait to try out more games from them in the future. If you are a teacher or if you are a parent, this is a great way to teach math to children!

My 5 year old and I absolutely love this game.It not only offers a great learning experience, the visual interest created by the quality of each 'pie' is beautiful. The game is both engaging and easy to simply for smaller children who are just starting to learn mathematical concepts and excited to spin the wheel. Highly recommend for ages 5 and up (6+ year old kids may benefit more from it).A definite keeper.

While this is educational and helps children to visualize fractions and their equivalents at multiple levels of ability, there doesn't seem to be anything inherently 'fun' about the game itself. Like many games, it boils down to preexisting knowledge and luck, but once your child has the concept of each of the seven variations down, there's no magic, mystery, or enjoyment out of continuing to play the game again.I played the beginner version with my son once, and as soon as he could identify the fractions by their size, he lost interest and he's too young for the more advanced variations. It's not something he wants to revisit.It may seem like I'm being a bit unfair, because identifying the fractions on sight was essentially the purpose of playing the game with my child. But a game's purpose is also to have fun, and we haven't found this to be (and as others have mentioned, putting the pieces away doesn't work cleanly - maybe that could be another advanced game itself!).Probably would be of greater use to a school or other facility where the players rotate often, as the instructions are simple and can be relayed to new audiences with relative ease.
