Success Criteria:

✓ I can identify odd and even numbers by their characteristics
✓ I can add and subtract odd and even numbers and observe the result
✓ I can predict outcomes of adding or subtracting odd and even numbers
✓ I can explain my thinking using counters or visual aids

🔍 Part 1: Identify and Sort

1. Circle the odd numbers and put a square around the even numbers:

3 8 15 22 17 34 41 56

2. Use counters or draw dots to show why these numbers are odd or even:

7 is _______ because:

3. Complete the pattern by filling in the missing numbers:

Odd: 1, 3, 5, ____, 9, ____, 13, ____

Even: 2, ____, 6, 8, ____, 12, ____, 16

➕➖ Part 2: Adding and Subtracting Patterns

4. Solve these problems and circle whether the answer is odd or even:

a) 4 + 6 = ____ Answer is: ODD / EVEN

b) 7 + 5 = ____ Answer is: ODD / EVEN

c) 3 + 8 = ____ Answer is: ODD / EVEN

d) 9 - 4 = ____ Answer is: ODD / EVEN

5. Without calculating, predict if the answer will be odd or even:

15 + 23 will be:

Odd
Even

18 + 14 will be:

Odd
Even

21 - 7 will be:

Odd
Even

6. Complete these number sentences using the pattern rules:

If I add two even numbers, I get an _______ number.

If I add two odd numbers, I get an _______ number.

If I add an odd and an even number, I get an _______ number.

🧠 Part 3: Explain Your Thinking

7. Use words, pictures or numbers to explain why odd + odd = even:
8. Create your own odd and even addition problem and solve it:

My problem: _____ + _____ = _____

This answer is _______ because: ________________________

9. Extension Challenge: What happens when you add three numbers? Try odd + odd + even and explain the pattern:
