Odd and Even Numbers
Teaching children how to recognise and work with odd and even numbers is an important skill. The resources here can help! We have a growing collection of printable worksheets to choose from.
What Are Even Numbers?
An even number can be divided into two equal groups. Even numbers always end in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 0.
If you add two even numbers together, you always get an even number.
What are Odd Numbers?
An odd numbercannot be divided into two equal groups. Odd numbers always end in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
If you add two odd numbers together, you always get an even number.
Tips and Tricks for Learning Odds and Evens
- Counting in two's will help children to recall even numbers quickly. When children are good at counting in two's, get them to recite the odd numbers too: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on.
- Sort small items such as Lego bricks or toys into groups of even and odd amounts. You can use our sorting mats (below) if you like.
- Line children (or family members, or toys) up in pairs. Start with an even number. Then do the same with an odd number - and point to the "odd one out".
- Hold up some of our number cards - whether with digits or and ask children to call out whether they show odd or even numbers.
