Some children were playing a game. Make a graph or picture to show how many ladybirds each child had.

Sort the houses in my street into different groups. Can you do it in any other ways?

Sara and Will were sorting some pictures of shapes on cards. "I'll collect the circles," said Sara. "I'll take the red ones," answered Will. Can you see any cards they would both want?
