  1. 5 · Half of 10 is 5.
  2. 4 · 4 splits into 2 and 2.
  3. True · 13 ends in 3.
  4. True · 8 gives 4 and 4.
  5. They end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 · Even numbers always end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, no matter how big the number is.
  6. One apple is left over · 7 splits into 3 and 3, with one apple left with no partner. That is why 7 is odd.
  7. True · That is the even rule.
  8. 12 and 20 · Both end in even digits.
  9. No, size does not matter, only the last digit · Even a big number like 84 is even, because it ends in 4. Size never decides odd or even.
  10. It becomes even · Adding one more to an odd number always makes it even, because the leftover one now has a partner.
