The kids in the Junior Chefs Cooking Class were excited to make pizza with their teacher, Chef Romano! They mixed, kneaded, rolled, and tossed the dough, but when it came time to put on the toppings, they had a problem. Everyone liked different things! Chef Romano uses this opportunity to teach the kids about fractions. They learn about the importance of equal size pieces, numerators, denominators, halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, and more! They explore comparing, adding, and subtracting fractions and even take a look at equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, and improper fractions. They also explore fractions of groups and how unit fractions decrease in size as the denominator increases.
Complete with colorful illustrations, clear explanations, fun characters, and practice pages at the end, this book is a must-have for every elementary teacher and homeschooling parent!
