3.
Once upon a time, there lived 3 lovely, little pigs. They were called Pig 1, Pig 2 and Pig 3.

4.

6.
Being the eldest, Pig 1 was allowed to eat of the pizza. How many slices of pizza did he eat?

7.
Being the eldest, Pig 1 was allowed to eat of the pizza. How many slices of pizza did he eat? Using concept of ‘fractions of a set’ 1 Of 6 = 1 x 6 3 3 1 = 1 x 6 3 x 1 = 6 3 = 2 Pig 1 ate 2 slices of pizza

8.
Pig 2 then ate of the pizza. What is the fraction of the pizza eaten by Pig 1 and Pig 2?

9.
Pig 2 then ate of the pizza. What is the fraction of the pizza eaten by Pig 1 and Pig 2? Using concept of ‘addition of fractions’ 1 + 1 = 2 + 1 3 6 6 6 = 3 6 = 1 2 The fraction of pizza eaten by Pig 1 and Pig 2 is
