Fast Food Drive Through: Halves, Quarters & Eighths POWERPOINT is an engaging and interactive way for students to consolidate their understanding of basic fractions. Set in a fun fast-food-themed context, this PowerPoint game invites students to identify whether food items have been divided into halves, quarters or eighths as they work through a drive-through customer service challenge.

To preview this interactive PowerPoint game, click on the video below.

Students become honorary members of the drive-through team, responsible for correctly preparing food orders by identifying how different items have been divided. With three fraction options shown on each slide, students are encouraged to carefully analyse each image and select the correct one based on the customer’s request. From sandwiches cut in half to pizzas split into eighths, this game-style presentation provides plenty of variety and opportunities for fraction recognition in real-world contexts.

This resource is ideal to use as a culminating activity at the end of a unit on fractions. It encourages visual recognition, comparison of part-whole relationships and reinforces terminology such as “half,” “quarter” and “eighth” in a playful setting. Its interactive format makes it perfect for whole-class review, small group competition or even independent digital rotations.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify and differentiate between halves, quarters and eighths
• ✅ Strengthen visual recognition of common fractions in real-world contexts
• ✅ Use mathematical language to describe part-whole relationships
• ✅ Practise reasoning and justification by explaining fraction choices
• ✅ Build confidence through interactive and game-based learning

What’s Included:

• Interactive PowerPoint game with food-themed fraction challenges
• Multiple slides with fraction image choices for each customer order
• “Start Order” and clickable answer buttons to guide progression
• Built-in navigation and visual cues for easy student use
