Editorial Review

Pie in the Sky is an effective and imaginative way to introduce kids to fractions and math skills. Each fraction family is represented by a type of pie on the playing board. Pies in mouth-watering flavors, such as cherry, peach, and lemon, are divided into halves, thirds, fourths, and so on. Each player picks a type of marker and then gives the spinner a twist to see what kind of fraction comes up. The player must find that fraction on the board--2/3, for instance--and place a marker on top of it. The first player to get three markers in a row wins. But it's not as easy as it looks; there are some pitfalls to watch out for. If a player spins "pick a fruit," he or she may lose a pie or have to trade pies and start all over. The game is for two to four players. --Marianne Painter

This review is from: Learning Resources - Pie in the Sky�  Fraction Game (Toy)

I was in need of several games dealing with fractions for a class I was teaching and this came to the rescue as a quick fix or teachers who have limited time on their hands. This works well with enhancing and practicing math skills. A bit costly, but saving time was more important to me.
