Answer sheet

  1. 1. 9 — Counting on from 8: eight, nine. So 9 comes next.
  2. 2. 4 — Counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 — the number just before 5 is 4.
  3. 3. 6 — Touch each star once: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. There are 6 stars.
  4. 4. 2 — Counting backwards, the number after 3 is 2.
  5. 5. Jack, with 7 apples — 7 comes after 3 when we count, so 7 is more than 3. Jack has more.
  6. 6. 12 — Twelve is written with a 1 and then a 2: 12. The number 21 is twenty-one.
  7. 7. 16 — Fifteen, sixteen. So 16 comes next.
  8. 8. 13 — After twelve comes thirteen, so the missing number is 13.
