can someone help me help my yr ds with his homework?!

[cutekids]

"write a rule for recognising even numbers"
" odd numbers"
"what do you notice about the multiples of 6"

even numbers are divisable by 2
odd numbers are not divisble by 2
multiples of 6 are all even

what age? is his the right level?

thankyou!!!!

even numbers are like 2's and 4's
odd numbers are the others
multiples of 6 are really hard

might get a "See Me" if you put that!!

Multiples of 6 are also all multiples of 3.

he's 7 and a half. he's got all his answers correct he just didn't know how he got them!!!!

"see me" that brings back memories!

I'd say
"even numbers end in 2,4,6,8 or 0"
"odd numbers end in 1,3,5,7 or 9"
as it's a rule for recognising even numbers rather than a rule for even numbers - you don't actually have to divide by 2 to recognise them.

Multiples of 6 are, of course, multiples of two (so the even mumber applies) and of 3. Multiples of 3 have digits that add up to multiples of 3, e.g.

327

3+2+7= 12

You can keep doing that:

1+2=3

until you reach 3, 6 or 9.

So multiples of 6 also have that property.

At seven and a half he may well not be expected to know the multiple of 3 trick, but may be quite entertained by it
