MATH TO TRY TOGETHER

Show your child why two odd numbers add to an even number

7 + 5: each leaves one over, the two leftovers pair up, so the answer is even: 12.

Try it with your child

Make groups of 7 and 5 counters and pair up the counters in each group. Each group has one left over, and those two leftovers make another pair. Count all the pairs to check 7 + 5 = 12.
