Partner up the cubes
Give each kid a handful of cubes and have them line them up in pairs. "Is anyone left without a partner?" Then they write the number as a doubles fact. Seeing the leftover cube is what makes odd click.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.
