Which One Doesn't Belong?
"This is Which One Doesn't Belong?, a website dedicated to providing thought-provoking puzzles for math teachers and students alike. There are no answers provided as there are many different, correct ways of choosing which one doesn't belong. Enjoy!"
Of the four numbers on the left, which one do you think does not belong?  Perhaps 16, the only even number, or the 43 the only non-perfect square. Ask someone else, they may think the single digit 9 and yet a fourth way of looking at it could be 25 is the only number divisible by 5.   These are highly accessible items as without a correct answer all students can participate.
