Fraction Pie

Fractions are a difficult subject that kids seem to NOT enjoy learning. They are not a difficult concept once students get the original idea. One way to make it interesting is to start by baking a pie and dividing it into halves, thirds, and sixths. Here is a recipe that gives some recipes for kid-friendly pies. These experiment helps kids to start with a comman interest and to have something to think about when asked similar questions in the future. Here is a video of a teacher using pie for a good cause.
