INTEGRATION WITH MATHFrosted Fractions Worksheet
California artist Wayne Thiebaud painted Cakes in 1963. All the cakes have something in common. What is it?
1. Each cake is a part of the whole painting.
2. All cakes are round. 3. The cakes look real
because the artist handled his paint like frosting—slathering it in rich creamy strokes.
Actually, all of the above answers are true.
Read Ten Things about Thiebaud—you'll learn all about the artist.
Wayne Thiebaud, Cakes, 1963
How hungry are you?
Unless you are really hungry (and can eat the whole thing!), a cake is usually cut into equal pieces—or fractions—of the whole when it is served. Thiebaud gives us lots of clues on how to cut his cakes.
The Boston Cream Pie
It is the low one with a creamy white filling; it looks more like a pie than a cake. Imagine how this cake looked before the filling was put between the layers.
This cake is divided into two layers. Each layer represents one half (1/2) of the total cake. The whole cake consists of two halves (2/2).
What does 2/2 equal?
