Rolling for Number Sense: Even and Odd Numbers
1st Grade - 2nd Grade
Objectives Students will classify numbers as even or odd. Students will recognize that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 and odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Students will add numbers with sums up to 12. Materials Needed Dice Manipulatives Paper and pencils “An Odd Valentine” reproducible Red and blue crayons (one of each for each student) Introduction Introduce the concept of odd and even numbers. Tell students that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. To help students understand the concept, explain that an even number of objects can be divided equally between two people. Say to students, “If there are four cookies on a plate, two friends can divide them equally—each child can have two cookies. Four is an even number! But if there are three cookies on the plate, the two friends cannot divide them equally. Each child can have one cookie, and they would have to break the third cookie in half. Three is not an even number.”
