explain and use the properties of odd and even numbers

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• identifying even numbers and explaining why all numbers that end in the digits 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 are even and that numbers ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are odd
• explaining why some materials can be shared evenly between \(2\) people without leaving a remainder and some cannot
• explaining the patterns involved in adding, subtracting and multiplying odd and even numbers; for example, even + even = even, odd + even = odd, odd + odd = even and using this to decide whether answers to addition, subtraction and multiplication calculations are correct or not
