Common misconception
Children may see the pairs in an odd number and think it is an even number.
Ensure children are looking for the extra one that makes a number odd. Provide opportunities to group other odd sets e.g. pairs of socks, pairs of hands / feet and realising an odd number always has an 'odd' one.
