Congratulations to these Grade 3 - 6 children, who challenged themselves and gave this maths competition a go.  Here is an example of the types of questions that the children were challenged by.  

Francesca wrote down three consecutive two-digit numbers in their natural order but, instead of digits, she used these symbols: 

□♢, ♡△, ♡□      

Which number is next? 

□♡           □□          ♡♡         ♢□           ♡♢

Explanation Answer: 

♡ ♡

From the change of the first digit we conclude that ◊ = 9, △ = 0, □ = 1. So the first number is 19 and we have ♡ =2, So, the next number to write is , which would be 22 ♡ ♡

Well done to the following children:
