There are to be 6 homes built on a new development site. They could
be semi-detached, detached or terraced houses. How many different

Start with four numbers at the corners of a square and put the
total of two corners in the middle of that side. Keep going... Can
you estimate what the size of the last four numbers will be?
Find a great variety of ways of asking questions which make 8.
