• which is taller? child or tree?
• if 2 more children came to play, how many children would there be?
• How many ice-creams would you need to buy for 4 children and 2 mums?

Super number challenge:

If you make 5 sandcastles and put 2 shells on each sandcastle- how many shells would you use? (You might need to draw a picture to help solve this puzzle).
