Pizza Fractions Project Based Learning – 3rd Grade
⭐ Pizza Fractions is a project based learning unit for 3rd grade based all around preparing and serving pizzas based on appropriate situational fractions. This 3rd grade resource contains a standards-based unit in both printable PDF and Google Slides versions – so it’s the perfect activity to increase engagement and interest in the classroom or distance learning. Students follow instructions to identify equal pizza slices, partition pizzas into fractions, add toppings to pizzas to make fractions, and answer various story problems about fractions and their pizzas. Additional “challenge activities” engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.
⭐ This project-based learning task involves using the following CCSS Geometry math standards to solve problems related to pizza preparation.
- 3.OA.A.1 Interpret products of whole numbers.
- 3.OA.A.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers.
- 3.OA.A.3 Use mult/div within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
- 3.OA.B.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem.
- 3.NBT.A.1 Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

- 3.NF.A.2 Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
- 3.NF.A.3.B Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions.
- 3.MD.A.1 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes.
- 3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set. Solve two-step problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs.
