Oct 22, 2026

Uploaded by OmBimo

Students practice subtracting fractions with like denominators using a “pizza” model and circle shading. For each problem, a character has a given fraction of a pizza, then eats another fraction with the same denominator. Learners shade the remaining fraction, cross out the amount eaten, and fill in the fraction sentence in the form: remaining fraction equals the difference of the two like-denominator fractions.
