June Challenge - Years 3 & 4

Moneybags

The giant has 20 gold coins.

He sorts them into three moneybags.

The second bag has fewer than ten coins inside.

The third bag has one more gold coin than the first bag.

The second bag has three more coins than the third bag.

How many coins are in each of the moneybags?

Hint: Use coins or pasta to represent the gold coins.  Try to sort the objects into bags or bowls so that the rules are satisfied.  It might take a few tries.
