Test Prep Problem #1

To assist with preparing the boys and girls for the problem solving section of our test on Tuesday, I'll post problems on the blog as often as I can.  

This problem focuses on ordinal numbers.

Use the clues below to help figure out who won the race. 

• There are five people in this race
• Barbie came after Big Bird but before Elmo
• Bert came before Ernie 
• Ernie came in second place 
• Elmo lost the race 

Too easy?  Okay, try this one! 

• There are four people in this race
• Elmo came lost the race again...poor guy  
• Dora came after Barbie
• Gi-Joe came before Elmo and after Dora
