TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Everyone loves pizza, especially school kids!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why Ms. Sharia Brent at Sabal Palm Elementary School in Tallahassee is asking for help in providing pizza for her students \u2014 in this Community Classroom segment.<\/p>\n
She said the pizza not only feeds their hunger, but it also helps with learning.<\/p>\n
Ms. Brent wants to use pizza to teach fractions. The third-grade math teacher said she\u2019s big on hands-on learning.<\/p>\n
Once her students can see and touch the lessons, and in this case, eat the lessons, it can be easier to grasp the concept of fractions.<\/p>\n
Ms. Brent said teaching fractions with pizza can be fun, motivating, confidence-building, and of course, delicious!<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, when you can just use those things around you to bring that in, it does help them to see, oh, it\u2019s not as difficult as I thought,\u201d she said. \u201cSo for me, that\u2019s important because the book can be fearful. You know? But, pizza and cutting and seeing pieces, that\u2019s not so fearful.\u201d<\/p>\n
The name of Ms. Brent\u2019s project, or wish list, on DonorsChoose is \u201cFilling in the Missing Part\u201d with Fractions.<\/p>\n
DonorsChoose, our partner for Community Classroom, is a website that allows teachers to request donations for their classroom needs.<\/p>\n
Ms. Brent said she wants to show her kids that math is all around them and that it can be as easy as pie.<\/p>\n
