The kids are able to identify and match halves and fourths now so to deepen our understanding we have worked on representing and explaining halves and fourths. The kids pretended to call one another and order pizzas and then drawing representations of the pizza that was being ordered. They had to label the parts of the pizza with what fraction of the pizza was covered with what toppings were ordered. Then they got to construct a pizza of their own choosing and explain their fractions through word form (whole, halves and fourths) and number form (1, 1/2, 1/4).
