Tony Fraction’s
Pizza Shop is one of the most popular games on MrNussbaum.com
and one of the most popular fraction games on the internet.
Students play the role of a pizza shop owner who must fulfill
the peculiar topping orders of his customers. Different
pizza slices determine the denominator of the fraction,
which keeps the game dynamic, unpredictable, and exciting.
For example, a “customer” might order a large
pizza ½ pepperoni, 2/5 extra cheese, and 1/10 bacon.
The student would first choose “large” from
the pizza size menu. A large pizza has ten slices, so the
user would put pepperoni on five, extra cheese of four,
and bacon on one. After each pizza is made, a new customer
makes a different order. If the order is made incorrectly,
the user will lose money.
This is a fantastic
game for students who learn visually. It is easily used
on a Smartboard and will engage students for long periods
of time.
