Even and odd numbers

A hundred chart to color, pictures to pair, numbers to 100 and to 1000, doubles and sums.

Sort, cut and paste

Sort numbers into even and odd by writing them, or cut and glue the cards (with a no-cut twin of the same numbers).

Even and odd assessment

A one-page check: even or odd numbers, pairing pictures, doubles and sums, with a 16-point key.

About these even and odd numbers worksheets

An even number of things can be split into pairs with none left over. An odd number always has one left over. Second graders learn this by pairing objects and counting by 2s, then notice that the ones digit tells the whole story: numbers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 are even.

These worksheets start with pictures to pair up, move to numbers to 100 and then 3-digit numbers, and connect even numbers to doubles: 14 is 7 + 7. There are sorts to write in, a cut and paste sort with a no-cut twin, a hundred chart to color, and an assessment that checks every part of the skill.

Every page with answers has an answer key on page 2, and all pages print in black and white on US Letter or A4.

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.C.3Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.

How to use them

  1. Start with real objects: line up socks or blocks in pairs. Is one left over?
  2. Use Pair Them Up next. Children draw lines to make pairs, count and circle even or odd.
  3. Color the Even Numbers to 100 to see the pattern, then use the Even or Odd Numbers pages.
  4. Use Even Numbers as Doubles to connect even numbers to equal addends: 18 = 9 + 9.
  5. Finish with a sort, the cut and paste page (or its no-cut twin), and the assessment.

Teaching tips

  • Only the ones digit matters: 347 is odd because 7 is odd.
  • Zero is even. 10, 20 and 100 are even too.
  • Every even number is a double. If you cannot split a number into two equal parts, it is odd.
  • Even + even and odd + odd give even sums. Even + odd gives an odd sum.
  • Skip counting by 2s from 0 says only even numbers.

Questions teachers and parents ask

How do you know if a number is even or odd?

Look at the ones digit. If it is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, the number is even. If it is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9, the number is odd. For a group of objects, pair them up: if one is left over, the number is odd.

Is zero even or odd?

Zero is even. It can be split into two equal parts (0 + 0), and it comes in the even pattern 0, 2, 4, 6.

Is there a cut and paste even and odd sort?

Yes. The cut and paste page has 12 number cards to cut out and glue under Even or Odd. Its no-cut twin uses the same numbers, so children can write them instead.

Is there an even and odd assessment?

Yes. The assessment has four parts (numbers, pictures, doubles and sums) and 16 points in all, with a key on page 2.
