How the lesson starts: Equal Shares of Shapes

  1. Pizza night!

    Hi friend! It's pizza night for twins Max and Mia. They share one pizza. Is it fair? Only if both pieces are the same size!

  2. Halves and thirds

    Cut a pizza into 2 equal pieces. Each piece is one half. Two pieces of different sizes are not halves! Now cut one into 3 equal pieces. Those are thirds!

  3. True or false?

    Mia says: this pizza is cut into halves. Is that true? Check two things. Are there 2 pieces? Yes. Are they the same size? No! One is big, one is small. So it's false.
