| A few years ago I was teaching my kids fractions. Obviously, this is one whole. It can also be expressed as 8/8. |
| One of my kids ate a piece. that was 1/8 of the pizza. so we had 7/8 left. |
| Then another one of my kids ate another 1/8 of the pizza. I now had 2/8 left which reduces down to 1/4. I then had 6/8 left and that too reduces down to 3/4! |
| I have three kids and my youngest decided he was mad, crazy-hungry. so 3/8 is now missing leaving me with 5/8. |
| One of the neighbor kids visited and was hungry. Now 4/8 are missing so that means we are down to 1/2. You know what that means? We also have 4/8 pizza left which is the same as 1/2! |
| I decided I wanted a piece too. We now have 5/8 gone and 3/8 are what's left. |
| My husband wanted a piece 6/8 are now gone. Reduced that's 3/4. 2/8 of that pizza is left or reduced 1/4 of that pizza. |
| My husband decided he was ravenous and ate that last piece. 8/8 was eaten and any number like 1/1, 2/2., 3/3/, 4/4 just means it's a whole. The whole pizza is eaten, gone, finito. |
