 * **How high is that tree?** || Article ||  || 2002 || Pt CN || No. 3 || Pgs 22-23 ||
 * BIRCHALL, Brian ||
 * //Are you planning to chop down a dead or damaged tree? Are you worried it might hit something? Stop worrying! This article tells you how to estimate how high that tree is with the help of a friend, a stick, and a tape measure. You could find these strategies useful in lots of other situations too!// ||
 * **Magic muffins** || Story ||  || 2001 || Pt CN || No. 2 || Pgs 2-9 ||
 * WERRY, Philippa ||
 * //A recipe for making banana and chocolate chip muffins appears mysteriously in Mrs Minty's mail one day. With little else to do in her day, she decides to make some, and as the smell of the baking wafts through the air, she finds herself having lots of visitors. The muffins are such a success that she starts baking more, but she needs help in working out how many to make and how much to charge.// ||
 * **The monster birthday party** || Story ||  || 2003 || Pt CN || No. 1 || Pgs 2-9 ||
 * WERRY, Philippa ||
 * //Gobbling, slurping, munching, and glugging, ten little monsters hurl themselves at the food at the monster birthday party. The super-stinky garlic bread is scrumptious . . . but what's that? Four more little monsters are on their way! Will there be enough food to go around? The mathematics of dividing food will provide the answer.// ||
 * **Nailing it down** || Story ||  || 2006 || Pt CN || No. 1 || 20-25 ||
 * BENN, Ken ||
 * //Most people would use a hammer, wood, and some nails to build a fence. Jono and his dad do that, too, but they also use a bit of clever maths to make the job even easier.// ||
 * **Summing up dad** || Story || 9-10 || 2006 || Pt 02 || No. 3 || 8-11 ||
 * WALLACE, Desna ||
 * //In this humorous fictional recount, Danielle and Adam describe their father’s eccentric behaviour as he teaches them metric measurement in a way they are unlikely to forget.// ||
 * **Yucky soup** || Poem ||  || 2003 || Pt CN || No. 1 || Pgs 10-11 ||
 * WERRY, Philippa ||
 * //Adding a teaspoon of this and a cupful of that, it's fun to create new recipes. Unfortunately, the cook in this poem gets rather carried away. Would you eat her soup? Maybe not, but by using the mathematics of number and measurement, you could make it for someone you don't like!// ||
