I went online and search google images and came up with two images for this assignment they are below

1.      The first pizza there are a total of six slices and one has been eaten, therefore there are five slices left, the fraction is 5/6.

2.      The first pizza, if five slices are left, only one is left, therefore the fraction for how many slices that have been eaten is 1/6.

3.      The second pizza, there is a total of three slices and two have not been eaten yet, therefore one has been eaten and the fraction is 1/3.

4.      The second pizza there is a total of three slices and one has been eaten, therefore there are two slices left, the fraction is 2/3.

5.      Total the two pies equal nine slices and three have been eaten, therefore there are six slices left, the fraction is 3/9 reduced to 1/3 of the pie.

6.      If six slices are left then the fraction of slices left is 6/9 reduced to 2/3

This pizza has a total of ten slices. It is half pepperoni and half cheese

1.      Five slices are pepperoni and five slices are cheese, if there is a total of ten slices each topping fraction is 5/10 reduced to ½

2.      If I eat two slices both pepperoni I would eat out of the pepperoni slices 2/5 of the pepperoni and 2/10 of the entire pie reduced to 1/5

3.      If I eat three slices one pepperoni and two cheese, out of the pepperoni slices I would eat 1/5 of the pepperoni slices leaving 4/5 left and 1/10 of the entire pizza pie leaving 9/10 left, out of the cheese slices if I eat two of the five cheese slices there are three left 2/5 of the cheese slices and 2/10 of the entire pie combined I have eaten 3/10 of the entire pie in total leaving 7/10 of the pie left.

4.      If I eat three pepperoni slices and two cheese slices I have eaten 5/10 of the entire pie reduced to 1/2 also leaving half the pie left. Out of the pepperoni slices, I have eaten three out of the five slices (3/5) leaving 2/5 left of the pepperoni slices and out of the cheese slices, I have eaten two out of the five slices (2/5) leaving 3/5 left out of the cheese slices

5.      If I just eat one slice of pepperoni and one slice of cheese, I have eaten two slices of the entire pie (2/10 reduced to 1/5) out of the pepperoni I have eaten 1/5 of the pepperoni slices leaving 4/5 left and out of the cheese I have also eaten 1/5 of the pie leaving 4/5 left.  

Teachers Post-Finding Fractions Using Pizza

Hello Students and welcome to class and welcome to the world of blogging. 

Today we are going to be creating fractions using Pizza. Yes Fractions can be fun and Pizza can be Math and it can be broken down into fractions.
In this blog, you will create fractions using a Pizza pie.

Click on link for instructions to a website for more information on using fractions with pizza

http://www.mathgoodies.com/articles/teach_fractions.html

In your post you will be posting examples of fractions using pizza, you can use as many pies and the pie can have any number of slices. For example if one pie is eight slices and you have two slices how many slices did you have? 2/8=1/4

For your post you will be using two images for your blog in the first image provide an example of two pizza pies and in that pizza pie provide as many examples of fractions as possible. In the second image provide of example of one pizza pie, in that pizza pie have it be two toppings split down the middle and provide five examples of fractions using that pizza pie. Be very colorful, provide links to where you found the picture, make it entertaining and most importantly have fun. Use google images and the three links spread across this post that I have provided for you to find an image of a pizza.
