The learning connection
Using food engages children and activates their senses, making math stick. The tactile experience of cutting and sharing reinforces the idea of parts of a whole, and Bruner's CPA approach ensures they can transition from concrete examples to abstract concepts seamlessly.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather a round base (like a paper plate) to represent your pizza. 2. Use scissors to cut the plate into 8 equal slices. 3. Label each slice with a fraction (e.g., 1/8, 1/4). 4. Pretend to add toppings (like cut-up paper or real items) on some slices, ensuring you show fractions. 5. Share the pizza with family members, describing the fractions you used. 6. Discuss how many slices each person gets — what fraction is that?
