Pizza Sandwiches
What is a Pizza Sandwich?
A pizza sandwich is made up of two layers of pizza slices. The bottom layer
is always one larger slice of pizza. The top layer is made up of at least two
slices of pizza that together are equal to the size of the bottom slice. There
are two different ways to make the top layer of the sandwich. One way is
to have the top layer made up of slices with the same fraction numeral. The
other way is to have the top layer made up of slices with a variety of fraction
numerals.
Setup:
Fit the assembled spinner center into spinner #1. Sort all the pizza
slices into draw piles by size with the fraction numeral side face up. Place all
draw piles to the side of the play area.
Object of the Game:
Be the first player to complete and collect three
equivalent matches (pizza sandwiches). Pizza sandwiches must be made up
of three of more slices.
How to Play:
• Spin the spinner. The player who spins the smallest fraction goes first. On
your turn, spin and follow the directions.
• If you spin a fraction numeral, take a matching pizza slice from a draw pile
and place it in the center. All players will use all the slices placed in the
center to try to build equivalent matches – pizza sandwiches. As you add
slices to the center, you may either build partial sandwiches or leave all
slices separate until an entire sandwich can be built. Multiple sandwiches
may be started in the center at the same time. Be the player to place the
slice of pizza that completes an equivalent match, and take that pizza
sandwich.
• If you run out of a particular fraction slice, spin again.
• On any turn, instead of spinning, you may choose to take any slice that has
been placed in the center, and using slices from the draw piles exchange it
for its fractional parts in order to complete a pizza sandwich.
Example:
You need a 1/6 slice to complete a pizza sandwich. Take a 1/3 slice
that already has been placed in the center and put it back in the draw pile
exchanging it for two 1/6 slices. Then use the 1/6 slice to finish the equivalent
match and collect that pizza sandwich. Put the remaining 1/6 slice into
the center for all players to use to build more pizza sandwiches. When
exchanging slices you must say the equation expressing their equivalence
(for example, “1/6 +1/6= 1/3”).
• When you spin anything other than a fraction numeral, use the spinner
rules below:
Choose:
Choose a slice from any of the draw piles.
Swap:
Trade one size slice from the center for any other size slice
from a draw pile.
Lose:
Put any slice from the center back in a draw pile.
• On any turn you may remake sandwiches by moving around multiple slices
in the center. Move clockwise to take turns.
• Collect three pizza sandwiches and win.
An Equivalency Key can be found on the last page of the game directions.

Pizza Slice-Up
Serves 2–6 players
Setup:
Fit the assembled spinner center into spinner #1. Sort all the pizza
slices into draw piles by size with the fraction numeral face up. Place the
draw piles off to the side of the play area. These draw piles will only be used
for “equivalency exchanges.” Use eight 1/2 slices to make 4 whole pizzas.
Place these 4 pizzas in the center for the players to “slice up.” (When you
slice up the pizza, you may use the equivalency key to make sure the slices
are equal.)
Object of the Game:
Be the first player to build your own whole one-
topping pizza by slicing up the center pizzas.
Entrée–How to Play:
• Spin the spinner. The player who spins the smallest fraction goes first. On
your turn, spin and follow the directions.
• When you spin a fraction numeral, remove a slice of a center pizza that
matches that fraction numeral to build your own pizza. If there is not a
slice in the center pizzas that matches that fraction numeral, use the draw
piles to make an equivalency exchange for a slice that is in the center
pizzas. The exchange must include the fraction numeral that was spun.
Keep the slice that matches the fraction numeral to build your own pizza.
Put the remaining slices back into the center pizzas.
Example of an “Equivalency Exchange
”: You spin ¼. There are no ¼
slices in the center pizzas, but there are two 1/8 slices and a 1/2 slice.
There are two things you can do: break apart a slice or add slices
together.
To break apart a slice:
Take a 1/2 slice. Return it to a draw pile and
exchange it for two ¼ slices. Place one ¼ slice back in the center
pizza and take the other ¼ slice to use in building your own pizza.
To add slices together:
Exchange the two 1/8 size slices, placing them
back into the 1/8 draw pile and take a ¼ slice from the ¼ draw pile to
use in building your own pizza.
• When exchanging slices, you must always say the equation to show that
the slices are equivalent.
• If you can neither match the fraction numeral spun nor exchange any of
the center pizza slices to make that fraction, take that fraction slice from
the draw piles and put it in the center with the remaining pizzas.
• If you spin anything other than a fraction numeral, follow the rules below::
Choose:
Choose any slice from the center pizza, and use it to build
your own pizza.
Swap:
Trade a slice with another player. If no other player will trade
with you, trade a slice with any different-
sized slice from a draw pile.
Lose:
Return a slice of your pizza to the
pizzas in the center.
