About this resource
I made this even and odd numbers puzzle set for my Year 3 students during our maths unit. The kids could count but had no idea what made a number even or odd or how to tell by looking at the last digit. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like even, odd, zero, pair, remainder, parity, sequence and consecutive. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the even/odd concept finally click.
Three puzzles plus answer keys. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether zero is even. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple pair of socks and single shoe drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 3–4. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers list five even numbers and five odd numbers on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
