HI Leighton,
Sometimes this error happens with older versions of PowerPoint or some school versions which prevent PowerPoint templates being opened.
Can I get you to try something for me? Please right click the file and select ‘Open’ from the menu. This should allow you to access the file without the error message.
Alternatively, if you are using a Mac, open the PowerPoint app directly and then open the downloaded PowerPoint file using the app (usually in the ‘Downloads’ folder).
If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hi, the last question says the answer is 1/4 yet when you take the two blue counters out you are left with 5 purple counters out of 16 counters in the jar: 5/16

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Jason!

Hi Stephanie – The download of this powerpoint still shows the incorrect answer to the last question – looks like you were alerted to this back in 2018 from the comments. Its a simple fix, which I have done as the file is editable – just wondering why no one there did the fix when you were alerted to it. Great site and content BTW.

Hi Michael, taking a look through this I can see Stephanie updated the image to have the correct answer back in 2018, however we have missed the text answer to go with it. Our apologies for this! I have alerted one of our teachers and they will get this resolved and a new version uploaded ASAP.
