• List of suspects and the mystery.
• Pictures of the suspects so you can cross off not-guilty suspects as a class.
• Identifying even results from multiplication sums.
• Identifying odd results from pairs of multiplication sums.
• A maze of multiplication sums and either an ‘odd’ pathway or an ‘even’ pathway.

What is the Rule for Multiplying Odd and Even Numbers?

Here’s some nifty information you can share with your students:

When you multiply an odd number by an even number, the result is always an even number.

Here’s why this rule works:

1. Odd Number: An odd number is any integer that cannot be evenly divided by 2. In other words, when you divide an odd number by 2, you will have a remainder of 1.
2. Even Number: An even number is any integer that can be evenly divided by 2. When you divide an even number by 2, there is no remainder.
