PINK TAKES OVER THE CIRCLE  “Take over” as many circles as you can.  You must color over half a circle in order for it to be taken over.  Once there are no more moves to be made, the player with the most circles wins.

 The denominator must be larger than or equal to the numerator in both fractions.  If time runs out before a player is done, they may not finish or start coloring a circle.  If students are capable, they are allowed to split their fraction and color on more than one circle.  A circle must be colored over half by one player to be considered taken over.
