We need all the help we can get with even in odd. LOL!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks SO much….odd and even is always a tricky concept !!
Thank you so much for the freebies—-we are doing odd and even next week and I was just about to look for a few things 🙂
This is exactly what we are working right now and it is tricky! The game looks like awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Love the ideas! Have you ever heard of the Even/Odd poem/song….It goes something like “There was a farmer who had a cow, and Even was her name-o 0,2,4,6,8 0,2,4,6,8 0,2,4,6,8 and Even was her name-o.”
Then is does a pig with odd numbers. I use that as a jump start into odd and even, b/c we can sing it and then use it as a tool as well–we draw a cow and pig and write the numbers on their bellies. If you haven't seen it, I can share it with you 🙂
Thanks for all your awesome ideas!

I just started even and odd numbers with my firsties yesterday! We made the houses and placed them on “Even and Odd Street”, which I think I saw on Cara's blog. Thanks for your freebies! Can't WAIT to use them!

Holy cow this is great. I've been trying to figure out a quick but fun way for my kids to review even and odd and my kiddos are in 3rd grade! Love following your blog! Keep up the awesome work.
Aww man – now the “Even or Odd” song from Math Fact Pack is stuck in my head again.
“Even or odd/odd or even there are 2 kinds of numbers in the wo-orld…”
Thank you for sharing!! I am realizing that we need to do some lessons on even/odd here soon! Many of kids do not know the difference 🙂 Love the number sort!
These activities look like great fun! Thanks for sharing them!

Thanks for all of the great ideas for teaching even/odd!! 🙂 Love 'em!
Thanks for the ideas! This is my first year teaching 2nd, and as silly as it sounds, teaching these simple, basic concepts has been hard for me! I have trouble breaking things down enough for these little ones. I can't wait to try this stuff out!
Love this! I just made two posters to help my sweet firsties remember even and odd numbers! The best part is they are songs! I would love for you to check them out!!

Thank you so much for this freebie activity. I have been sorting my files and organizing independent work for students. I realized I was low on odd/even material. This activity will be a great tool for my kiddos. I like the sentence strip idea as well. Thank you again.
