11. One jump of 4 from 6 to 10, then a jump of 1 to 11.
3
Find three pairs of numbers that make 10.
Any three of 1 + 9, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6, 5 + 5 (and the swaps).
4
Split 12 into two parts in 3 different ways. Use beans or buttons to help.
Any three correct splits, such as 10 + 2, 9 + 3, 8 + 4, 7 + 5 or 6 + 6.
