Understanding Odd and Even Numbers
What Makes a Number Odd or Even?
Odd numbers can't be split into two equal groups, but even numbers can!
How to Tell
- Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
- Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
Why Does It Matter?
Knowing if a number is odd or even helps with sharing and dividing things equally.
Fun Activities
Try grouping toys or snacks into pairs and see which numbers are even or odd!
Examples
4 is even because it can be split into 2 and 2.
7 is odd because you can't split it into two equal groups.
