Day 9 - Which One Doesn't Belong?

Day 9:  Which One Doesn't Belong?

K-2 Directions:  Look at the 4 numbers below.  They are all related to each other, like your family.  You can still find one that doesn't fit in though.  When you find one, tell someone you are home with which one it is.  Make sure you tell them why it doesn't belong.  Post your thoughts in the comments below.

K-2 Challenge:  After finding one number that doesn't fit in, try to find a different one that doesn't belong.  Tell someone you're home with the reason why it doesn't belong.  It should be a different reason than the first one!

3-5 Directions:  Look at 4 numbers below.  They are all related in some way, but you can justify why one of them doesn't belong with the others.  When you figure out which one doesn't fit in, tell someone you're home with which one it is.  Make sure you tell them why it doesn't belong. Then, using a different reason, try to find a different number that doesn't belong.  Once you have, tell someone in your house the new reason why that number doesn't belong.  Post your thoughts in the comments below.

3-5 Challenge:  Come up with a reason why each of the 4 numbers doesn't belong in the group with the others!  Tell someone you're home with and post thoughts in the comments section below.

    6 does not belong because it is even and the other numbers are odd. Also, 15 doesn't belong because it is two digits and the others are one.

    9 does not belong because it is one digit and the others are two digits.
    16 does not belong because it is even and the others are odd.

  2. 41 is the only prime number
    9 is the only one digit number
    16 is the only number with even factors
    25 is the only factor of 100

    1. Wow! I love your thinking, Rina. In addition to being prime, 41 is also different from the rest for another reason. Can you think of how it is different?

    1. Hi Mariah, 15 is the only one with tens, good thinking! What makes a number even or odd? Does 6 fall into the even or odd category?

  10. 25 does not belong because it's the only multiple of 5.
    41 doesn't belong because it's not divisible by any number.
    16 does not belong because it's the only even number.
    9 doesn't belong because it's the only single digit.

  11. Russell, good observations. 41 is evenly divisible by 1 and itself, but no other numbers. There is a name for those types of numbers. Do you know what they are called?
