Mayville Maths Challenge (KS1)

Submit your solutions to your teacher.

Even and Odd Age 5 to 7

This activity is best done as a whole class or in a large group.

You will need to split up into four smaller groups: a black

group, a blue group, a green group and a red group.

Each group will need the set of cards which has the same colour as their group name. Here are the sheets which will

need printing off and cutting into separate cards: black cards, blue cards, green cards, red cards.

https://nrich.maths.org/6895

In your group, can you pair up your cards so that each number card goes with a card which has a picture of that same number

of coloured squares?

Use interlocking cubes, such as Multilink, to make the numbers on your cards in the same way as the pictures of coloured squares. For example, here is a block of Multilink which is 9:

Nine is an odd number. Could you tell this from looking at the

diagram of the block of cubes? Eight is an even number. How would the shape of the block of eight cubes differ?

Choose two of your numbers made from Multilink. What

happens when you add them by fitting the two Multilink 'blocks' together? What kind of number do you get? Is it odd or even?

Choose a different pair of numbers and add them in the same way. What do you get this time? Is the number odd or even?

In your group, try this in as many different ways as you can.

You could record what you are doing in some way.

When do you get an odd number? When do you get an even number?

Can you explain why?

Mayville Maths Challenge (KS2)

How many different ways can you make?

Have you tried putting a bag into another bag?

Can you record your ways?

How do you know you've got them all?

Can you give your recording to a friend to see if they can re-make

your way?

We are looking for a small team of parents

who would like to get involved and

volunteer some of their free time to work

alongside Mr Keefe.

On Saturday 13th October we will be

finishing off our Dr Seuss theme along the

Staff Room corridor. With your help we will

be able to create an enriching and

exciting environment for the children to

learn in.

Painting will be between 10:00 and 14:00.

Your ideas will be welcomed for future

murals/projects within the school.

Materials/projectors will be provided. No

experience required.

Contact school office or speak to Mr Keefe

if interested.
