Maths:

This week we have been learning about odd and even numbers. We learnt to put objects in pairs. If the objects go into pairs the number is even and if not the number is odd. We then learnt to look at the last digit in a number. If it ends in 0, 2, 4 , 6 or 8 then the number is even. If it ends in1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 then the number is odd.

English and Topic
