- 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
- following an algorithm consisting of a flow chart with a series of instructions and decisions to determine whether a number is even or odd; using the algorithm to identify which elements of a set of numbers are divisible by \(2\)
