Beasoning With Even and. Odd Numbers

Make conjectures about whether the results below will be even or odd. Then use tile models or some other method to support your conjectures.

1. the sum of two even numbers 2. the sum of two odd numbers 3. the sum of an even number and an odd number

4. the product of two even numbers

5. the product of two odd numbers 6. the product of an even number and
C. Without building
an odd number

B. Is 0 an even number or an odd number? How do you know?

tile model, how can you determine whether of numbers, such as 721 + 38, is even or odd?

a sum

D. A problem occurs when we compute 6 + 3 x

You can get 81 or 33 as the answer! How can you get 81? How can you get33? T\e order of operations rule says that you do all multiplications and divisions before you add or subtract. This makes 33 the correct answer. Compute each number and tell whether it is even or odd.

GhssifyingNumbers
Veo, diagram
uses circles to group things that belong together. You

can use Venn diagrams to explore relationships among whole numbers. For example, suppose that you want to group the whole numbers from 1 to 9 according to whether they are prime or multiples of 2. First,list the numbers that fall into each category:

Prime

Numbers:2,3,5,1

Multiples of 2;2,4,6,8

Next, draw and label two overlapping circles, one that represents the prime numbers and one that represents the multiples of 2. Put each number from 1 to 9 in the appropriate region. The numbers that don't fall into either category belong outside of the circles. The numbers that are in both categories belong in the overlap of the circles.
