Fraction Quest: The Pizza Party Game
Young learners travel around a 24-space board answering communicative speaking prompts about fractions in real-world contexts (sharing pizza, dividing toys, splitting snacks). Players must explain, compare, and negotiate fraction scenarios with partners and teams. Chance cards add surprise moves and quick language tasks.
