Explore odd and even numbers within 20
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explore odd and even numbers within 20.
Key learning points
- Recall odd and even numbers to ten.
- A number is even if the ones digit is even.
- An even number can be made from groups of two.
- A number is odd if the ones digit is odd.
- An odd number cannot be made from groups of two.
Keywords
Odd - Any number that cannot be made of pairs. The last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9
Even - Any number that can be made of pairs. The last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
Pair - Two together. Often with something in common.
Common misconception
Children may think a number is an odd number if the tens digit is odd.
Reinforce the tens number being even by showing the groups of 2 We only need to look at the ones digit to see if a number is odd or even.
Teacher tip
Give children experience of odd and even numbers in different contexts and using different representations. Look for patterns and similarities and differences.
