Even and Odd Numbers Resources

Even numbers are whole numbers divisible by two with no remainder, such as 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Odd numbers are whole numbers not divisible by two, always leaving a remainder of 1, such as 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. You can quickly determine whether a number is even or odd by examining its last digit: numbers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 are even, while those ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 are odd. Understanding this distinction is a foundational math skill that supports counting, addition, subtraction, and pattern recognition for young learners.

Education.com’s Even and Odd Numbers collection includes over 50 resources to help first and second graders grasp these concepts through engaging, hands-on practice. Worksheets, guided lessons, interactive games, and imaginative activities introduce students to even and odd numbers using counting exercises, grouping objects, and visual models. Activities encourage children to separate quantities into two groups, identify patterns, and relate numbers to real-world contexts, building early number sense and confidence.

These resources also integrate foundational addition concepts, helping students understand how numbers combine to form larger quantities. Lessons include visual representations, manipulatives, and repetition-based exercises to reinforce learning. Teachers and parents can filter by grade, topic, or activity type to quickly find resources tailored to learners’ needs. By mastering even and odd numbers, students gain essential skills for arithmetic, problem-solving, and future success in mathematics.
Once your student understands how to count to ten and that numbers represent quantity, it is time to introduce them to the concepts of addition. Addition at its simplest is taking two separate quantities and putting them together, creating a new, larger quantity.
When your student is first introduced to addition within 10, it’s important to reinforce the concept of quantity. The more ways they are introduced to this, the more they’ll understand that numbers and arithmetic operations are representative of quantities of things, and how those quantities change.
  • Represent quantities with different forms. This could be fingers, objects, sounds like clapping or snapping, or drawn images.
  • Take ten objects and separate them into two groups. For example, separate ten blocks into one group of six blocks, and one group of four blocks.
  • For each number 1-10, determine which number should be added to it to make 10. Understanding this will help students quickly calculate two and three-digit addition problems in the future. For example, 1+ 9 = 10.
This is also when you will introduce your student to basic mathematical symbols like the addition or plus sign (+), and the equal sign (=), as well as the two different forms an equation could take:
1 + 1 = 2
Or
1
+1

2 As with any math skill, repetition is key to retaining information. The Education.com games and activities above help your students practice this skill in a way that keeps it fun.
