Fruit Pizza!

Today we reviewed fraction concepts by making fruit pizzas. You can make a fruit pizza from whole-grain bread, whole-wheat bagels, tortillas, crackers, or any type of crust. Just use non-fat or lite yogurt for a sauce and then add your favorite fruit for toppings. We used blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries, but you can also use bananas, oranges, apples, or any of your favorite fruits! Check out some of our pictures below...

Purpose

Imagine a world where students come to school eager to eat vegetables and learn about math. Using Michelle Obama’s initiative toward healthy eating and fresh grown produce, this project will aspire to teach, encourage, and inspire students to become healthier while practicing crucial mathematical skills. This project will serve to allow students to see the influence of math and healthy eating on their everyday lives. Working with four groups of 8-13 students with cognitive disabilities, each student will learn and practice math skills such as addition, subtraction, identifying fractions, graphing, and measurement. Through the course of the project, we will plant a vegetable, make healthy snacks, role-play purchasing items, and learn fractions through food. Students will have the opportunity to learn from peer role-models from Jesuit High School during the project.
