Teaching guide

What students learn

Explain what makes a whole number odd or even and use those properties to reason about numbers.

How to teach it

Pair counters into twos: a number is even when every counter has a partner and odd when one is left over. Then test what happens when you add or multiply odd and even numbers and record the rules.

Worked example
Is 4 even or odd?
Answer: even

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Judging a large number as odd or even by its first digit, or by how big it is, instead of by its ones digit.
