Even or Odd?

In math we have been exploring the differences between even and odd numbers.  We used cubes, number sentences, and our prior knowledge to list a whole lot of fun facts about even and odd numbers!

We know that even numbers can be put into pairs (partners of two) without any left over.  We practice this every day when picking line partners!

We know that even numbers can be put into two equal sized groups.

We know that even and odd numbers alternate when counting.  even, odd, even, odd, even, odd...

We know that an even number + an even number = an even number.

We know that an odd number + an odd number = an even number.

We know that an even number + an odd number = an odd number

We know that an odd number + an even number = an odd number

We know that even numbers end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8

We know that odd numbers end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9

Wow!  We know a lot!
