Gamified Learning Experiential Learning

Objective: To help students understand and compare fractions using hands-on, visual models.

Materials Required: Paper plates (or cardboard circles), markers or coloured pencils,
scissors, ruler or protractor (optional for precision)

procedure: (This activity will be performed individually.)
Š Create Your Fraction pizzas:

• Give each student 3–4 paper plates.

• Ask them to divide each plate into different equal parts — one into 2 parts

(halves), another into 4 parts (quarters), another into 8 parts (eighths), and
so on.

• Tell students to colour each section with different shades to make the divisions

1 1
clear. Label each part with its corresponding fraction (e.g., , , etc.).

Š Cut and Compare: 2 4
1

• Students will cut out one slice from each plate (e.g., 2 from the halves
1
plate, from the quarters, etc.).
4
• Let them overlap and compare the pieces to see which fractions are larger

and which are smaller.

Š Guide students in recording their observations:
1 1
• “ is larger than .”

2 4
1 2
• “ is equal to .”

4 8
Š Encourage them to describe why one fraction is bigger or smaller using the

visual evidence.
Š Extension ideas:

1
• Ask students to build equivalent fractions (e.g., match 2 pieces of to 1
1 8
piece of ).
4

• Create a “Fraction Pizza Shop” where students match slices to create a full
plate.
