Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What are the characteristics of a circle? Why is it possible to slice 360 pieces in a whole pizza (where does that number come from)? What unit is used to measure angles? How are angles and rays related? Do the number of degrees change based on the size of the circle?
After the Game
How did you create the angles of slices each customer wanted? How did you figure out the correct amount of pizza for the customers who ordered using fractions? What did you have to do when a customer ordered by fractions (1/5 of a pizza), how did you find the degrees when given the fraction? In this game, you were required to cut pizza by degree of a circle - what is the relationship between an angle and these degrees of the pizza/circle?
