This year marks my tenth year as a teacher of Maths. During that time, I've built up a bank of teaching resources and ideas which I want to share with others. Some can be incorporated into lessons and others act as discussion points.

The majority of posts are focused around Maths, but there are some which look at pedagogy and CPD which can be used in other subjects/settings. Search for lesson resources using the tags at the side. Pedagogy has it's own section.

Resources can be used in educational settings, including private tuition.

There's no E in odd, except for all of them

A fun little fact I learnt. It's disappointing that the word odd doesn't have an e in it. Even more frustrating - the word even has two e's in it!

 

Solution

One, three, five, seven and nine all contain the letter e. Eleven, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, nineteen do as well.

The end digit determines a number's parity. Every odd number greater than 20 will end in one of the previously mentioned numbers.

Twenty five. Two thousand and nineteen. Six million and three as examples.

We can even include negative odd numbers in this!
