        I think Joise is correct because three she used the blue circles and for the fifth she
        used the peach circles.

        Tiny is incorrect because he counted up higher like the normal numbers.

    Eliza is correct because 8 of the shapes are yellow and the numerator is 8 and 4 of them are blue so if you add 4 to 8 then it will make 12 and the denominator is 12 so you put them in a fraction which is 8/12.

    I do not agree with tiny because 4/4 equals 1 and 5/4does not equal anything.

    GOLD:
    Eliza is correct because there are 8 circles and there are 12 shapes.
    Josie did wrong was she count the blue circle and she count the white circle but she dident count
    the other shape.

    PLATINUM:
    4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4 are improper fractions because the numerator is greater or equal to denominator. But the answers of 5/4, 6/4,7/4 are wrong. So I disagree with Tiny.

    Gold :
    Eliza is correct because there are 8 circles out of 12 shapes and Eliza has represented it as 8/12 . But Josie is incorrect because she has represented it as 3/5 instead of 3/8 or 8/12.

    Platinum:
    The numbers 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4 are improper fractions as the numerator is greater than denominator. But I disagree with Tiny as the answers 2, 3 and 4 are wrong .

    Gold-
    Elizah is correct because there are 12 altogether and 8 are shaded in yellow while the rest are not.
    GD/Platinum
    I do not agree with tiny because when you go over 1 whole you represent it like this 1 1/4 1 2/4 1 3/4 and when it’s 1 4/4 do 2 because that means it’s 2 wholes then keep repeating.

    Gold:
    Eliza is correct because there are 12 shapes in total and 8 shaded shapes which makes the fraction 8/12. 3/5 is not the answer because there are not 5 shapes in total and 3 are not shaded yellow.
    Platinum:
    Tiny is incorrect because the numerator can’t be over the denominator. The numerator and denominator have to be the same to make a whole if the numerator is over the denominator the fraction is incorrect.

    Gold:
    Eliza is right because there are 12 in total and 8 are circles
    Platinum:
    Tiny is incorrect because the numerator and the denominator have to match to make a whole number. tiny’s improper fractions have a whole number with fractions.

    1) 4/11 + 5/11=9/11.
    2) 5/6 + 1/6=6/6 Which is equivalent to 1 whole.
    3) 3/8 + 3/8=6/8.
    4) 7/10 – 3/10=4/10
    5) 8/12 – 3/12=5/12
    6) 3/4 – 1/4=2/4 Which is also equivalent to 2 quarters.
    When adding and taking away in fractions, the numerator changes however the denominator stays the same as it was before.
    Silver Challenge:
    1) 1/2=2/4.
    2) 1/12=2/24.
    3) 1/10=2/20.
    4) 1/8=2/16.
    5) 3/20=60/40.
    6) 1/6=2/12.
    7) 1/5=2/10.
    8) 1/4=4/16.
    9) 3/10=6/20.
    10) 1/3=4/12.
    11) 7/20=14/40.
    12) 3/8=6/16.
    I notice a pattern where the numbers are in the same times tables.
    Gold Challenge:
    Eliza is correct because, there are a total of 12 shapes and 8 are shaded in yellow out of the 12, so the fraction would be 8/12 but it could not be 3/5 because 3 aren’t shaded and there aren’t 5 shapes in total.
    Platinum Challenge:
    I agree with Tiny because, 6/4=3 and 7/4=4. The reason for this is, as a proper fraction this should be the answer but as a improper fraction it would be 6/4 and 7/4.

    Eliza is correct because there are 8 shapes shaded yellow out of 12 shapes in total.
