This lesson is designed to support student understanding of what makes a number even or odd.
The instructional block in this lesson introduces students to strategies for determining whether or not a number is even or odd. Students practice figuring out if a number is a double, as one way to check if it is even. Another strategy students will practice is making sets of two from a larger number to see if there is one left over, indicating it is odd.
Scaffolds and supports such as number frames and pictorial representations are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.
