Pepper's Holiday Bakery: Name the Fraction

Pepper the penguin baker has iced some of the pieces of each holiday treat. Students name the fraction that is iced, from halves and fourths to sixths and twelfths (an advent calendar), meet a fraction that makes one whole (8/8), and compare unit fractions of the same-size whole. Every fraction model is drawn in exact equal pieces, each question is read aloud, and a wrong answer shows a hint on how to build the fraction. 9 questions, about 10 minutes.

• 9 questions on fraction models drawn in exact equal pieces
• Halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths and twelfths
• Two questions comparing unit fractions of the same whole
• Read-aloud directions and a hint after every wrong answer

• Name the fraction of a whole that is shaded, from a picture of equal parts
• Use the number of equal parts as the bottom number and the shaded parts as the top number
• Recognize a fraction like 8/8 as one whole
• Compare the size of unit fractions of the same whole
