today I'm going to show you how we work with odd and even numbers in a Montessori
preschool classroom in our classroom we use the term cards and counters we are
teaching the children to differentiate between odd and even numbers from number
one to ten using our counters cards and counters the children will be able to
identify that an odd number does not have a friend and an even number does
have a friend and with an even number we can divide by two and with an odd number
we cannot divide by two our numbers range from number one to
number ten okay friends today we're going to learn about odd and even numbers odd and
even numbers are numbers with a partner or without a partner so first we're
going to take all our cards and counters and we are going to put our numbers
down now what is our first number on the number line but first we start with zero
and zero means and the next number after zero
so Mrs. Dana's going to take number one and what number comes after one good
job so now we know our numbers so Mrs. Dana's going to do the first two
and then I'm going to call each one of you to do the next number so my first number
is number one so I'm going to put one counter under number one so say this
with me one one next number is number two one two that's number two number one is a odd number
can you say that
number two is a even number now I'm going to call on a friend to do number
three kara can I start with you please to do number three
is it an odd or even number why
thank you the last one does not have a friend so number three is a odd number
so let's go through all of our numbers from number one to number ten and we can
identify we can divide by two good job so let's go through all our numbers from
number one to ten and we're going to identify the odd or even numbers so
number one is odd number two is even number three odd number four even number five odd Number six even
number seven odd number eight even number nine odd
all right now let's identify all the odd numbers now the fair one that does not
have a friend all the odd numbers one Class (three, five, seven). Nine.
again one three five seven nine now let's say the even numbers two four six eight ten and those are our even
numbers so now we know how to identify odd and even numbers well well done
friends we did a wonderful job thank you very much
