What Are Even and Odd Numbers?
Numbers can be like best friends - some always come in pairs, and some have one left over!
Even numbers are numbers that can be divided into pairs with nothing left over. Odd numbers have one left over when you try to make pairs. Let's learn how to tell them apart!
How to Tell if a Number is Even or Odd
1️⃣ Look at the last digit - Is it 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8? Then it's even!
2️⃣ Try pairing - Can you make equal pairs with none left over?
3️⃣ Count by twos - Even numbers are in the counting by twos pattern!
