MathPlay for Pentagons (5s):

"Odds and Evens"

Thursday, December 10 at 4:00 pm ET (New York)

What is the difference between an odd number and an even number?  What happens when you add odd and even numbers together?  Children will explore these questions — and help Newton the dog organize his bones — as they classify numbers as odd or even.  They will discover that an even number of items can be matched in pairs while an odd number cannot.

Materials needed: activity sheets to be provided (to print and cut prior to session) and one marker or pencil.
