Tips for Extension and Support

We know that teachers are doing their absolute best to provide differentiated instruction for the diverse needs of the learners in their classrooms. To help you achieve the best outcomes for your learners, here are some ideas for how you might differentiate the application of this resource.

• Extend Your High Fliers – For students needing an additional challenge, invite them to create their own sums and sort them into odd or even based on the answer to each sum. You might even like to pair the students up and get them to ask each other if they predict the sum answer will be odd and even and explain their response.
• Support Your Less-Confident Students – Some students may benefit from maths manipulatives to provide concrete material to act out a sum or answer and pair up the total to determine if it is an odd or even number.
