If you don't mind sharing, what grade-level, decade, location were you taught this?

The key part about the pizza example is the demonstration of mathematical thinking completely disparate from what I experienced at a Catholic high-school in Chicago during the 2000s.

In Israel it's been taught this way for decades.
