The most fun and delicious way to learn fractions is with food. You can count, add, subtract, even multiply and divide fractions with food. We've all studied fractions with halves and quarters of apples, but how about these other foods? Some foods can be cut into fractions easily. Others are already in sections. Still others come in bunches.
- Pizza
- Pie
- Quesadillas
- Orange wedges
- Graham crackers
- Bunches of grapes
- Bunches of bananas
- Chocolate bars
- M and Ms
- Heads of cabbage or lettuce
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Popsicles
- Cookies
- Six-packs of juice or soda
- Bell peppers
- Marshmallows
- Animal crackers
- Jelly beans
- Packs of candy or gum
Enjoy learning fractions! And Bon Apetit!
