Description

This math clip art image is part of a series that uses pizza slices to model fractions. The image depicts a circular pizza divided into four equal slices, with three slices present and one missing. This visual representation clearly illustrates the fraction three-fourths (3/4).

Using pizza fraction models like this in math education is highly effective. These images provide a concrete, relatable context that helps students bridge the gap between abstract fraction concepts and real-world applications. Teachers can easily incorporate this image into their lessons to explain concepts such as parts of a whole, numerators, denominators, and comparing fractions.

Teacher's Script: "Let's examine this pizza, class. How many total slices should there be? Four, correct! But how many slices do we see? Three! This image shows us three-fourths of a pizza. The bottom number, four, tells us the pizza is cut into four equal pieces. The top number, three, shows how many of those pieces we have. Can you tell me what fraction of the pizza is missing? How does this compare to one-half or two-fourths?"
