What Are Even and Odd Numbers?
Numbers can be grouped in special ways!
Even numbers are numbers that can be divided into two equal groups with no leftovers.
Odd numbers will always have one extra when you try to split them into two equal groups.
How to Tell if a Number is Even or Odd
1️⃣ Look at the last digit of the number
2️⃣ If it's 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 → Even number!
3️⃣ If it's 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 → Odd number!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use household items: Have your child pair socks, toys, or snacks to physically see even and odd grouping.
- Make it a game: Play "Even/Odd hop" where you call out numbers and they hop on one foot for odd, two feet for even.
- Look for patterns: Show how even numbers alternate with odd numbers on a number line to help them see the sequence.
