Numeracy - ODD AND EVEN NUMBERS

Prep - Year 2 : ODD NUMBER MONSTER

Watch and listen to the book One Odd Day, by Doris Fisher.

Create or draw an odd number monster so that everything on the monster is an odd number.

You could use playdough, Lego, craft materials, or draw one yourself.

For example, this monster has

5 feathers in his/her hair
7 yellow arms
9 red legs
1 purple belly button and
3 googly eyes

Year 3 - Year 6:

Watch and listen to One Odd Day, by Doris Fisher.

PART 1: ODD AND EVEN NUMBER PROPERTIES MAKING CLAIMS: A claim is something that is thought to be true. We can use maths to test a claim and see if it is true.

Claim: When adding two ODD numbers together, the total is always an even number. Can you prove that this is true.
Investigate what happens when you add two EVEN numbers together.

Finish this claim: When adding two even numbers together the total is always an _________ number.

Investigate what happens when you add one ODD number and one EVEN number together (e.g. 5 + 13)

Finish this claim: When adding one odd and one even numbers together the total is always an ________ number.

PART 2: Using the knowledge about the properties of odd and even numbers that you have developed, explore this Number Maze (you can print out the sheet or copy it onto paper).

Instructions for the Number Maze

You need to move from 5 at the start through to 14 at the end.
You can use horizontal, vertical and diagonal movements.
Add together the numbers of each box you pass through.
The aim is to finish with an odd total.

Challenge: How many different paths can you find through the maze? Can you find a path that has a total that is an odd number and a multiple of 5?

EEPS COrE - Mindfulness

As part of the Resilience Project we are learning about Mindfulness.

Being mindful means focussing on what you are doing in that moment, focussing on the present and giving your attention to something.

To practise mindfulness you are going to design your own mindfulness colouring page.

With a black marker, draw the lines on your colouring page. Then use pencils, pens, textas or crayons to colour your page.

PE

For this challenge you will need a ball (or a pair of socks), somewhere it's ok to catch and throw (check with a grown up first) and a one minute timer.

Challenge One: How many times can you throw and catch your ball up in the air in one minute?
