findings. They have attempted to apply mathematical thinking and have shown some mathematical ability.

Little
Progress

The student has shown at least one possibility for the possible outcomes but has shown little to no attempts to rationalise their
thinking or to find other fractions that fit the criteria. The student has demonstrated little to no evidence of mathematical application
or understanding of Rational Number. The students response has little to no working out as a way to support their conclusions.
Overall the student has demonstrated little use of their mathematical ability when addressing this problem and has been unable to
clearly justify why they have or have not found all the possible outcomes.
