From our teachers' playbook

Pairs up or one left over?

What do kids learn about even and odd numbers?

Even numbers can be split into pairs with nobody left out, and odd numbers always have one left over. Kids discover this by pairing up objects: 8 cubes make four perfect pairs, but 7 cubes leave one alone. They notice that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 and odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9, so 346 is even no matter how big it is. In 2nd grade they also write even numbers as two equal addends, like 10 = 5 + 5. This sets up later work with multiplication, division and patterns.

How we teach even and odd

Even and odd make sense once kids see the pairs. Here are our favorite moves.

Partner up the cubes

Give kids a handful of cubes and have them line them up in pairs, two by two. If every cube has a buddy, the number is even. If one is left alone, it is odd. After building a few, ask them to predict before they pair.

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Doubles tell the story

Show that every even number is a double, like 6 = 3 + 3 and 12 = 6 + 6. Then try 7 and let kids discover it cannot be split evenly. This connects even numbers to addition facts kids already know.

Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Sort big numbers

Once kids know the rule, mix small and big numbers like 18, 93, 250 and 471 in one sort. Asking them to explain "only the ones digit matters" shows they really understand.

Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Even and odd questions

How do you know if a number is even or odd?

Look at the ones digit. If it is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, the number is even. If it is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9, the number is odd.

Is zero even or odd?

Zero is even. It can be split into two equal groups of zero, and it fits the pattern of even numbers on a number line.

What grade learns even and odd numbers?

Most students learn even and odd in 2nd grade, and many 1st graders explore the idea through pairing and counting by 2s.

How can I teach even and odd at home?

Pair up socks, shoes or snacks and ask if anything is left over. Then look at house numbers on a walk and decide which side of the street is even.
