Ask students to make the same pattern on the other three slices. Provide outlines of four-slice pizzas with one quarter showing three slices of pepperoni. Provide paper plates and cut-outs of toppings and invite your students to make beautiful patterns on their “pizzas.” Alternatively you could provide circles on butcher paper and ask the students to use crayons and markers to create their patterns. In the book Pizza for Breakfast, Frank makes his best patterns with pepperoni, olives and anchovies when he serves the man who suddenly appears. What do they notice about the toppings?
