The concept of even and odd numbers is a bit confusing for kids. Teaching odd and even numbers to early learners can be challenging. But not anymore.
Numbers that can be easily divided into two equal parts are called even numbers. Numbers that cannot be divided into two equal parts are called odd numbers. For example, if 10 candies are divided into two equal parts of 5 each, 10 is an even number.
All even numbers are completely divisible by 2, leaving zero as the remainder, while odd numbers are not completely divisible by 2, leaving 1 as remainder.
The smallest even number is 2, while the smallest odd number is 1.
Examples of even numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc.
Examples of odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, etc.
