Banana sushi is a healthy snack and it’s super quick to make. As an added bonus, it offers learning opportunities to practice fractions while cutting it. How will you portion your sushi to make sure all the pieces are the same size? You may use any seed butter or nut butter you have at home. This recipe is a real fuel-me-up snack.

STEP 7
Cut the sushi in half. This tortilla is a small one so I cut it into 6 equal-sized pieces instead of 8. After cutting the tortilla in half, cut each half into three equal-sized pieces. Now you have cut the tortilla into 6 equal-sized pieces of banana sushi. To eat one piece would be 1/6 or one-sixth. How many sixths will you eat?
