Inside a torus
A torus is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis that is coplanar with the circle.

We did this same problem at AMTNYS and the T3IC. All of the answers were great! I liked cutting part of the 9's out to make 3's!

B: sometimes
C: never if you put them on a number line or have 2 of the same wholes. But I could also say maybe, depending if one object is bigger than the other. I'm thinking a pizza vs a cookie.

A8:A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon) that has at least one pair of parallel sides.
So yes, it is a trapezoid! Just not a 'typical' one that'll we would see. This emphasizes the importance of vocabulary!

A4: 15/4
Vertically, you are adding 1 or 4/4 to each fraction. Each diagonal (1/4 to 6/4 to 11/4) is increasing by 5/4.
I wonder if students can see the pattern- especially that 4/4=1, 8/4=2 etc.
