How to teach this
Start with objects: grab 13 buttons and try to make pairs. The one left over makes it odd. Then connect the pattern to the ones digit so your child can decide without counting. Quiz aloud during errands ("is 16 even or odd?") until the answer comes fast.
Watch for: Kids judge by the first digit and call 21 even. Only the ones digit decides, so 21 is odd. Kids call numbers ending in 0, like 30, odd or 'neither': a 0 in the ones place always means even.
Common questions about even & odd numbers
- How do I explain even and odd to a 7-year-old?
- Even numbers can be shared fairly between two people with nothing left over. Odd numbers always leave one out. Acting it out with snacks or toys makes it stick.
- Is zero even or odd?
- Zero is even. It ends in 0 and splits into two equal groups of nothing, strange as that sounds.
