This set of worksheets supports students in understanding and applying strategies to determine whether numbers are odd or even. The worksheets include step-by-step processes that help students identify number properties and reinforce their reasoning skills.

How to Complete

1. Section 1: Students determine whether numbers are odd or even, based on their last digit.
2. Section 2: Students fill in missing steps within processes to determine whether a number is odd or even, including dividing by 2 or imagining objects grouped into pairs.
3. Section 3: Students apply previous strategies to a range of numbers, deciding whether they are are odd or even.
4. Section 4: Students review solved examples, identify incorrect results and justify their responses.

Additional Tips

1. Use physical objects, such as counters or blocks, to illustrate grouping numbers evenly.
2. To consolidate their understanding, encourage students to verbalise their thought process when identifying odd and even numbers.

Extension Ideas

1. Advanced Processes: Extend the concept to include divisibility by other numbers, such as 3 or 5.
2. Real-World Scenarios: Incorporate problems where students determine odd and even properties, such as dividing items into equal groups or sharing items fairly.
