Odd and Even Patterns in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics
In IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics, Odd and Even Patterns, within Odd and Even Numbers gives emerging learners (ages 6–7) the chance to practise spotting the pattern of odd and even numbers, continuing an odd and even pattern and describing what changes each time.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.

For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use odd and even patterns activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Little and often beats cramming: ten focused questions a day will build more fluency than one long session at the weekend.
