The learning connection
Embodied cognition principles show that physically manipulating shapes helps solidify abstract fraction concepts. Cutting and sharing pizza slices engages children emotionally, making them more likely to remember how fractions work.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather a large piece of cardboard or paper to make a pizza base. 2. Draw a circle and cut it out to represent a pizza. 3.
