Odd and Even

Hi all!

Today we discovered odd and even numbers! Odd numbers cannot be shared fairly between two groups e.g. 1,3,5,7,9 and so on.  Even numbers can be shared fairly between two groups e.g. 2,4,6,8,10 and so on.

The children were amazing at representing this with their cubes and understood the concept really well!  We then solved a problem.

“If we add two odd numbers together, the answer will always be odd.  Is this true or false?”

We discovered this was false!  Two odd numbers always make an even number! Ask your children to tell you why!
