Represent an even number using two equal groups or two equal addends. Represent an odd number using two equal groups with one left over or two equal addends plus 1.

Examples

Example: The number 8 is even because it can be represented as two equal groups of 4 or as the expression 4+4.

Example: The number 9 is odd because it can be represented as two equal groups with one left over or as the expression 4+4+1.

Clarifications

Clarification 1: Instruction focuses on the connection of recognizing even and odd numbers using skip counting, arrays and patterns in the ones place.

Clarification 2: Addends are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 12.

Lesson Plan

Odds and Evens:

This resource helps students identify numbers as odd or even using a variety of methods including creating pairs, skip counting by two’s, using number lines, and arrays. It also leads them to understand that all even numbers can be written as a sum of equal addends and odds can be written as the sum of equal addends plus one.

This resource can be conducted as one lesson or can be spread over multiple mini sessions if needed as noted within this resource as Lesson 1 and Lesson 2.
