Eight boxes of pictures set out in pairs, one above the other, with a dotted loop round each pair. If every picture has a partner the number is even; if one is left on its own it is odd. Children count the pictures, write the number and circle even or odd. It is the picture-first way into even and odd numbers before the last-digit rule. Page 2 is the answer key.
