### Pizza Portions

My friends and I love pizza. Can you help us share these pizzas equally?

### Pies

Grandma found her pie balanced on the scale with two weights and a quarter of a pie. So how heavy was each pie?

### Red Balloons, Blue Balloons

Katie and Will have some balloons. Will's balloon burst at exactly the same size as Katie's at the beginning of a puff. How many puffs had Will done before his balloon burst?

# More Fraction Bars

##### Age 7 to 11 Challenge Level:

Look at these different coloured bars.

Put the bars in size order - can you do it without cutting them out?

Now focus on this bar:

This bar represents two wholes, or the number 2. You might find it easier to think of it as two bars which are each 'one whole' that have been stuck together.

We are thinking about all the other coloured bars as fractions of this bar, so we are thinking about them as fractions of 2.

For example, look at Bar S below:

Drawing lines helps us measure it against the black bar:

What fraction of the black bar is Bar S?

Go through each of the other coloured bars and compare them to the black bar. What fraction of 2 is each bar?

Write down your ideas for each bar. For example, you could write:
Bar S is two thirds of the black bar.
or
Bar S represents $\frac{2}{3}$ of 2.
or
Bar S is 1$\frac{1}{3}$.

Can you work out how we came up with these three ideas?

When you've worked out what fraction of 2 each bar represents, have a go at the next challenge here.
