Key Concepts

  • Even numbers can be divided into two equal groups.
  • Odd numbers have one left over when divided into two groups.
  • Numbers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 are even.
  • Numbers ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 are odd.

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to identify even and odd numbers.
  • Students will be able to explain the difference between even and odd numbers.
  • Students will be able to sort a set of numbers into even and odd categories.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Start by asking students what they already know about even and odd numbers. Introduce the concept that some numbers can be divided into two equal groups (even) and some have one left over (odd).
  • Watch the Video (3 mins)
    Watch the "Even and Odd Numbers SONG!! Learn by Singing!" video. Encourage students to sing along and pay attention to the even and odd number patterns.
  • Discussion (5 mins)
    After the video, discuss the song and the concepts it presented. Ask students to give examples of even and odd numbers they heard in the song.
  • Activity: Sorting Numbers (12 mins)
    Provide students with a set of number cards (1-20). Have them sort the numbers into two columns: Even and Odd. You can use visual aids like drawings of groups of objects to help them determine if a number is even or odd.

Interactive Exercises

  • Pair Up Game
    Call out a number (1-20). Have the students quickly pair up. If there's an odd number of students, one student will be left out. Explain that even numbers can always be paired up, while odd numbers always have one left over.
  • Even and Odd Hopscotch
    Create a hopscotch grid with numbers 1-10 written in the squares. Have students hop on the even numbers only, then hop on the odd numbers only.

Educational Standards

CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6:Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13). CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.A.1:Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
