Special Notes  
WARNING:  
CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts.  
Not for children under 3 years.  
1. You may build more than one pizza at a time, but be careful—you might  
get caught with a pizza that can’t be finished.  
 
Game #3: Half Pepperoni, Half Mushroom!  
2-4 players  
Skill: Making  
, adding fractions to  
Object of the game: To be the first player to build 3 half pizzas using the same topping for each  
half pizza.  
Set-up  
1. Use game #3 spinner.  
2. Remove all of the  
and pieces and set them aside. (You will not need these pieces for this game.)  
3. Place the remaining pieces in one large center pile, fraction-side down.  
Playing the Game  
1. Spin and collect the piece for the fraction value you spun.  
2. Check to see if you chose the correct size piece by turning it over.  
3. If you picked the correct size piece, you may keep it and start building one of your half pizzas.  
4. If you did not pick the correct size piece, return it to the center pile.  
5. If there are no pieces left for the fraction you spun, your turn ends.  
6. Take turns spinning and collecting pieces. The first player to build 3 one topping, half pizzas wins.  
Special notes  
1. You do not have to have the same topping for all 3 of your half pizzas.  
2. The "everything" topping pieces are wild and can be used in any of your pizzas, but if a regular  
topping piece is available it must be used first.  
3. In order to win, each half pizza must equal exactly no more, and no less. Use a piece of paper  
to add up the fractions you used to make sure each of your pizzas equal exactly . ꢁ  
The spinner  
If you spin LOSE, choose one of your pieces to return to the center pile.  
If you spin FREE, choose any piece from the center pile.  
Alternate game play  
For an easier game, start with all the pieces fraction-side up in the center pile.  
Game #4: Slice It Up For More!  
2-4 players  
Skill: Equivalencies  
Object of the game: To be the player to earn 10 points by trading equivalent fraction pieces.  
Set up  
1. Use game #4 spinner.  
2. Put two  
pieces together to form a whole pizza, fraction-side up, and place it in the center.  
3
 
3. Remove all the other  
pieces and set them aside. (You will not need them for this game.)  
4. Sort the remaining pieces into piles by size with the fraction-side up.  
5. You will need a piece of paper and a pencil to keep score.  
Playing the Game  
1. Spin and collect the piece for the fraction value you spun.  
2. Once you have enough pieces to equal an equivalent fraction to any piece in the middle pizza,  
replace that piece of the center pizza with the equivalent pieces instead of spinning.  
(For example, you have one  
piece and two  
p
ieces. On your next turn, you may replace  
the piece of the whole pizza with your one  
piece and two ieces.)  
pꢀ  
3. Scoring: When you replace pieces with the center pizza you receive 1 point for every piece  
you put in.  
(For example, you replaced one  
piece with one  
piece and two  
pieces for a total of  
3 pieces traded. Therefore, you would receive 3 points.)  
4. Game play continues until one player reaches 10 points.  
Special notes  
1. Pieces that are replaced can be either larger or smaller as long as they are equivalent.  
(For example, you can replace a piece with two pieces or you can replace two  
piece.)

2. Be sure pieces you trade are in fact equivalent. Use a piece of paper and pencil to check your  
answers.  
The spinner  
If you spin FREE, choose any piece from the center pile.  
Alternate game play  
For a shorter or longer game, simply adjust the total points needed to win.  
Game #5: Who Can Eat the Most?  
2-4 players  
Skill: Reducing Fractions  
Object of the game: To be the player to collect the most pieces by reducing and finding equivalent  
fractions.  
Set up  
1. Use game #5 spinner.  
2. Sort the remaining pieces into piles by size with the fraction-side up.  
Playing the Game  
1. Spin and reduce the fraction you spun to one of the pizza fraction values. Say the equivalent  
fraction aloud.  
4
 
2. If you answered correctly, take a piece with that value.  
3. If you answer incorrectly, do not take a piece.  
4. If there are no pieces left for what you spun, try using a combination of equivalent pieces to make  
up your reduced fraction. (For example, you reduced the fraction  
you may take two pieces or another combination equal to .)ꢁ  
to  
. There are no  
pieces left, so  
5. If there are still no pieces available for you to take, your turn ends.  
6. Play continues until all the pieces have been collected.  
7. The player who collects the most pieces wins!  
Special notes  
1. In addition to spinning, if you can create exactly a whole pizza with your fraction pieces you have  
collected, you may take any piece as a bonus on your next turn. (The whole pizza does not have to  
be the same topping, but it must equal exactly one whole.) This may be done only once per pizza.  
2. Each fraction on the spinner can be reduced to one of the pizza slices’ values. You may use a piece  
of paper to help you.  
3. Another player should check to see if your answer is correct. Use a piece of paper and pencil to  
check or use the equivalency table on the back page of this guide.  
The spinner  
If you spin TAKE 2, take 2 pieces if you answered correctly.  
If you spin FREE, choose any piece from the center piles.  
Alternate game play  
For a more difficult game, start with all the pieces fraction side down.  
Game #6: Pizza Thief?  
2-4 players  
Skill: Equivalencies  
Object of the game: To be the only player left with pieces remaining in your GAME PLAY PIZZA*!  
Please be sure to read through all instructions before beginning.  
Set up  
1. Use game #6 spinner.  
2. Choose one  
3. Put the remaining  
piece for your GAME PLAY PIZZA* and set it in front of you.  
pieces off to the side, these will not be used in the game.  
4. Sort the remaining pieces into piles by size with the fraction side up.  
*Please Note: Game Play Pizza is referred to throughout the instructions. This is the  
pizza that you  
start with and your opponents are trying to take away. The pieces that you collect when you spin do not  
become a part of your Game Play Pizza. Once your Game Play Pizza is gone completely, even if you  
have pieces left in your hand that you have collected from spinning, you are out of the game.

Playing the Game  
1. Spin and collect the piece for the fraction value you spun. Hold this piece in your hand with the  
fraction side facing you.  
2. Continue collecting pieces in this way until you have enough pieces collected to make  
(For example, one piece and two pieces).  
3. Once you have collected enough pieces to equal  
replace any opponent’s GAME PLAY PIZZA with the pieces from your hand.  
of a pizza  
on your next turn, instead of spinning, you may  
(In our example, your opponent will now have one  
piece and two  
pieces for their  
GAME PLAY PIZZA.)  
4. Your opponent’s  
piece that is replaced should be discarded to the side. It will not be used again.  
5. After this is done, other players may use the pieces in their hands to take away an equivalent piece  
from your opponent’s GAME PLAY PIZZA or to remove a SAFETY piece instead of spinning.  
(SAFETY pieces must be removed first before pieces in the GAME PLAY PIZZA may be removed.)  
To do this:  
• Pieces taken away must either be the same or equivalent fractions. (For example, your  
for your opponent’s piece, or your piece for two of your opponent’s pieces.)  
• Both your opponent’s piece(s) and your piece(s) are then returned to the center piles.  
Your opponent will now have less than of their pizza left.  
piece  
6. If you do not have a piece in your hand that can be used to remove one of your opponent’s pieces,  
spin and collect a piece. Your turn is now over, even if the piece you collected can be played.  
7. Play continues until only one player has pieces left in their GAME PLAY PIZZA. This player wins the  
game!  
Special notes  
1. All pieces that are taken away from a GAME PLAY PIZZA, should be returned to the center  
piles, except for the  
pieces (which are set aside).  
2. The piece(s) you use to take away an opponent’s piece should also be returned to the center  
piles.  
The spinner  
If you spin SAFETY, choose any fraction piece from the center and put it on top of your  
GAME PLAY PIZZA. This safety piece must be removed before the slice can be divided or  
the piece that you place it on can be taken away. The safety piece may be any fraction  
value you choose.  
If you spin FREE, choose any piece from the center piles.

Game #7: Eat Up!  
2-3 players  
Skill: Finding Factors  
Object of the game: To be the player to collect the most pieces by determining the factors of the  
denominator you spun.  
Set up  
1. Use game #7 spinner.  
2. Sort the remaining pieces into piles by size with the fraction-side up.  
Playing the Game  
1. Spin to see which denominator you have to find the factors for.  
(The denominator in a fraction is the bottom number of the fraction. The numerator is the top  
number. A factor is a number that can be used to divide another number evenly with no  
remainder.)  
2. Collect the fraction pieces whose denominators will divide evenly into the factor that you spun.  
(For example, if you spun the number 4 you would collect one  
and one  
piece because 4 can  
be divided evenly by both 2 and 4: 4 ÷ 2 = 2 and 4 ÷ 4 = 1.)  
3. Take one piece for each correct factor found, which means you may take more than one piece at a  
time. (As in our example, there were two pieces that you could take!) You may use a piece of paper  
to help you.  
4. Have another player check your answers using a piece of paper and a pencil or by using the  
answer key located on the back page.  
5. If there are no pieces left for what you spun, your turn ends.  
6. The next player follows the same directions.  
7. Play continues until all the pieces are taken.  
8. The player who collects the most pieces wins!  
Special notes  
Each factor on the spinner has at least one fraction piece in the center piles that can be taken.  
The spinner  
If you spin FREE, choose any piece from the center piles..  
Alternate game play  
For a shorter game, decide on a number of pieces needed to collect to win the game.
