Was it ever tricky to decide which number was bigger?
Why might comparing and ordering numbers matter? Can this be fair or unfair?
What else in life gets compared like numbers do?

Have a conversation about this image. Be curious. Be creative. Can you see in different ways?
What numbers and patterns do you notice? What number is the arrow pointing to? What numbers could go in the empty spaces? What colour would it be?
