🍕 Task Objective

Your Mission: You are the head chef at Tony's Pizza Palace! You need to create a delicious pizza by placing different toppings on specific fractional sections. Use your fraction knowledge to ensure each topping covers the correct portion of the pizza.

Materials Needed:

✓ Coloured pencils or markers
✓ Ruler
✓ Calculator (if needed)
✓ Your fraction knowledge!

📋 Pizza Topping Rules

Topping Requirements:

• Pepperoni must cover exactly 1/2 of the pizza

• Mushrooms must cover exactly 1/4 of the pizza

• No overlap rule: Toppings cannot be placed on the same slice

• Each slice can only have ONE type of topping

• Some slices may remain plain (cheese only)

🎨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Draw a large circle below and divide it into 8 equal slices. Label each slice with a number (1-8).

Before placing toppings, work out how many slices each topping needs:

Pepperoni covers 1/2 of the pizza:

1/2 = ___/8, so pepperoni needs ____ slices

Mushrooms cover 1/4 of the pizza:

1/4 = ___/8, so mushrooms need ____ slices

Which slices will you put each topping on? Write your plan:

Pepperoni slices: ________________________________

Mushroom slices: ________________________________

Plain slices (cheese only): ________________________________

🧮 Fraction Calculations

Total slices used: Pepperoni (___) + Mushrooms (___) = ___ slices

Plain slices: 8 - ___ = ___ slices

Fraction of pizza that is plain: ___/8 = ___

Pepperoni: ___/8 + Mushrooms: ___/8 + Plain: ___/8 = ___/8 = ___

🌟 Extension Challenge

Problem: Can you add olives to your current pizza design without breaking the "no overlap" rule?

💭 Reflection Questions

Double the pepperoni: 2 × 1/2 = ___

Is this possible on one pizza? Explain: ________________________
