Remember OILRIG.
Oxidation is loss (of electrons)
Reduction is gain (of electrons)
then the reducing agent is usually the thing that is oxidized and the oxidizing agent is the thing that is usually reduced .
Na+ becomes Na (gains electron so it is being reduced, etc)

The oxidized reagent increases its valance
The reduced reagent decreases its valence
The oxidizing agent is reduced
The reducing agent is oxidized
Now you should be able to answer this yourself.
