PART ONE:
Whole Class: Teachers will use pictures and models of pie charts to explain the connection between fractions and decimals and explain how the two processes are interconnected.
On Grade Level: Students will create a pie chart for the following information. On each section of the pie chart they will include both the fraction and decimal for each. David invited 2 friends to eat pizza at his house during lunch. The extra large cheese pizza was cut into 12 pieces. David ate 3 pieces, Jose ate 4 pieces, and Kate ate 3 pieces. How much of the pizza did each child eat (fractions and decimals)? How much pizza was left over? If David invites the same friends to eat pizza again, which pizza should he order? Extra large costs $15 and has 12 pieces, large costs $10 and has 10 pieces, and a medium costs $8 and has 8 pieces. Why did you select that size pizza?
GT Level: Students will create a pie chart for the following information. On each section of the pie chart they will include both the fraction and decimal for each. Mary invited 4 friends to eat pizza at his house during lunch. The extra large pepperoni pizza was cut into 12 pieces. Mary ate 2 pieces, Jan ate 1 piece, Ronnie ate 3 pieces, Kenneth ate 2 pieces, and Brandon ate 2 pieces. How much of the pizza did each child eat (fractions and decimals)? How much pizza was left over? If Mary invites the same friends to eat pizza again, which pizza should she order? Extra large costs $15 and has 12 pieces, large costs $10 and has 10 pieces, and a medium costs $8 and has 8 pieces. Why did you select that size pizza? / Resources:
