Tyler DeWitt has made a very handy, easy-to-understand video that uses the formation of an ionic compound (NaCl, sodium chloride) to illustrate the logic of oxidation-reduction reactions, sometimes called 'redox' reactions, as described in Chapter 20.
Tyler not only gives an example of oxidation numbers (20.2), but he also shows how to to use these numbers to describe 'half-reactions' (20.3)
While there is no worksheet based upon this video, this is highly-similar to how students will be introduced to these concepts in Lecture, and is worth repeated viewings:
