Explore your textbook and find out what Shirley has seen. Draw a square on the even numbers. Put a circle on the odd numbers.
Observation: Shirley observed that even and odd numbers alternate in page numbers.
Pattern: Page 1 is odd Page 2 is even Page 3 is odd Page 4 is even ...and so on.
Answer: Even page numbers (2, 4, 6, 8...) → Draw a square around them. Odd page numbers (1, 3, 5, 7...) → Put a circle on them.
Explanation
The chapter asks students to explore their textbook pages to discover the alternating pattern of even and odd numbers. Page numbers follow a pattern: odd, even, odd, even... This helps students recognize that consecutive numbers alternate between odd and even.
