Lesson details
Key learning points
- We can group representations of numbers according to whether they are made of pairs or not.
- Shapes representing numbers can be grouped according their shape and to whether they are made of pairs or not.
- The language of odd and even can be used to describe numbers made of pairs or not made of pairs.
- --- is made of -- pairs. It is an even number but --- is not made of pairs. It is an odd number.
- Numbers can be sorted into odds and evens.
Keywords
Pair - Two together. Often with something in common.
Even - Any number that can be made of pairs. The last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
Odd - Any number that cannot be made of pairs. The last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9
Common misconception
Children may see the pairs in odd numbers 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.
