A cloze story about equivalent fractions for Year 4 maths. Pupils fill 13 blanks in a pizza-flavoured passage using a word bank of 16 options, three of which are distractors, so they have to read for meaning rather than guess. The answer key lists all 13 answers and names the distractors. Supports the England National Curriculum objective on families of common equivalent fractions.
