Activity: There are 20 children in the class. The teacher had a Halloween party and started to give out some treats. All pupils lined up and he gave a juice drink to the first child, a biscuit to the second child, a strawberry to the third child and a cupcake to the fourth child. He continued this until he had given something to each child. What did the seventh child get? What did the last child get?

Questions: What was the pattern in which the teacher was giving out the treats? How many cupcakes did he give out? How many cupcakes would he need if he wanted to give one to each pupil?
