It would be best to explore Ed Emberly’s book, “Picture Pie” with your students, but it is not necessary. Simply have them use the pieces to create images. I used this activity while we were studying fractions. After creating their pictures they added up the pieces and recorded the total amount as a mixed fraction. It really helped them to understand the concepts in a fun and creative way.
