Hidden Patterns
Numbers aren't just for
counting. They represent
relationships and follow
specific rules.
Children standing in line say
numbers that don't match
their order.
First arrangement: Children
say (0,1,0,2,2,2,1)
Second arrangement: Same
children say (0,0,1,2,2,5,6)

What Do These
Numbers Actually
Mean?
Guess 1
The numbers show how
many people are in front
who are taller.
Guess 2
The numbers show how
many children are taller
and ahead in line.
Lesson
Numbers can describe position, comparison, and rules.
Careful observation reveals hidden patterns.

Picking Parity
Kishor's
Puzzle
Place cards
(1,3,5,7,9,11,13) in
5 boxes to sum
to 30.
Even
Numbers
Can be grouped
in pairs with no
leftovers.
Odd
Numbers
Always leave
one unpaired
object.

The Puzzle
The Challenge
Place 5 odd number cards in boxes to sum to 30.
The Numbers
13, 9, 7, 11, 5, 3 - all odd numbers.
Parity Logic
Even numbers + even numbers = even
Two odd numbers = even
Odd number of odd numbers = odd
Conclusion
It's impossible to make 30 (even) by adding 5 odd numbers.
