@KarenCampe When I asked the student to tell me more about their thinking, they counted 16 squares, said “4 are yellow, that leaves 12, so 4/12.” Very clearly thinking part:part relationship. Not uncommon at this age. And yes, part:whole and part:part fraction understanding is very important to unpack so we all know what is being spoken of. Not wrong, just looking at a different relationship.

Gr 3 S drew this for fun. I asked “What fraction is yellow?” S responded “ 4/12. What are they noticing? What question would you ask next? Keep in mind not part of a lesson. Just for funsises.

In your who is doing the thinking? How have you intentionally set up constraints to foster a zone of optimal confusion in students?

This task is from NRich.maths.org. A great task. How would YOU open it up to allow for multiple answers & more math talk? “On a farm there were some hens and sheep. Altogether there were 8 heads and 22 feet. How many hens were there?”
