It’s Thanksgiving time and
Charlotte’s relatives are
coming over for dinner!
Everyone is going to bring
something to eat!
Grandma brought Charlotte’s
favorite dessert - pumpkin
pie!
Grandma asks Charlotte to
cut the pumpkin pie so that
everyone can have a piece.
First, Charlotte decides to find
out how many people are at
her house.
Charlotte counts 8 family
members in her house. She
cuts the pie into 8 pieces.
Charlotte gives
the first piece to
Grandma. What
fraction of the
pie does
Grandma have?
Grandma has 1 piece of pie
out of 8 total pieces. She has
1/8 of the pie.
Charlotte gives away 3 more
pieces.
What fraction of the pie is left?
Charlotte has given away 4
pieces. There are 4 pieces
left. 4/8 of the pie is left.
Charlotte gives a piece to her
mom and dad. Now she has
given away 6 pieces in all.
What fraction of the pie is
left?
Charlotte has given away 6
pieces out of 8 total pieces.
So 2/8 of the pie is left over.
Charlotte gives a
piece to her uncle.
Now there is 1 piece
left and it is for her!
She sits down at the
table and takes a big
bite! Charlotte loves
Thanksgiving!
