Possible Answers:

Neither

Even

Both

Odd

Correct answer:

Even

Explanation:

When trying to decide if we have an even or an odd number of items, we can put the items in pairs of two. If each item is in a pair, then we have an even number of items. If there is one item that isn't in a pair, then we have an odd number of items. 

In this case, our dots are in pairs of two, so we have an even number of dots.

Correct answer:

Even

Explanation:

When trying to decide if we have an even or an odd number of items, we can put the items in pairs of two. If each item is in a pair, then we have an even number of items. If there is one item that isn't in a pair, then we have an odd number of items. 

In this case, our dots are in a pair of two, so we have an even number of dots.

Neither

Even

Correct answer:

Odd

Explanation:

When trying to decide if we have an even or an odd number of items, we can put the items in pairs of two. If each item is in a pair, then we have an even number of items. If there is one item that isn't in a pair, then we have an odd number of items. 

In this case, we have one dot not in a pair, so we have an odd number of dots.

Example Question #455 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking

Is there an even or an odd number of dots below?

Possible Answers:

Odd

Both

Neither

Even

Correct answer:

Odd

Explanation:

When trying to decide if we have an even or an odd number of items, we can put the items in pairs of two. If each item is in a pair, then we have an even number of items. If there is one item that isn't in a pair, then we have an odd number of items. 

In this case, we have one dot so it's can't be in a pair, so we have an odd number of dots.
