The Even & Odd Math Help Mat Printable is a great addition to the even and odd printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n

What are Even and Odd Numbers?<\/h2>\n

An even number is a number that can be divided by 2. These are numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8. These will be even numbers. 4 divided by 2 is 2. You will also find numbers that end in 0 are even.<\/p>\n

An odd number is a number that can\u2019t be divided by 2. These are numbers like 3, 5, 7, 9. These numbers can\u2019t be divided by two evenly. They will always have a reminder. You will also find numbers that end in 1 are odd.<\/p>\n

Another way to say this is that you can make equal pairs of numbers it is even. If you can\u2019t make pairs for every number it is odd.<\/p>\n

Even and Odd Help Mat Printables<\/h3>\n

On each side of the mat, the numbers are sorted by what is even and what is odd. It is an easy way to look and see what is type each number is. They color in a color version and a black and white. There are two even and odd daysmats options for kids to use.<\/p>\n

Setting up the Even and Odd Help Mat Printables<\/h3>\n

Here is a look at how I set up the even and odd mat with number in the middle. I give them 10 unifix cubes<\/a>\"\" and one 10-sided dice. Our die happens to come from the place value dice<\/a>\"\" set.<\/p>\n

They fill in the numbers in the middle on the ten frame to match the number 4. <\/p>\n

You can see that the number is the same on each side. By having the same amount you explain that is even. You could also tell them they have two pairs <\/p>\n

They can circle the number on the side of the mat as well.<\/p>\n

Print the Mats on Colored Cardstock<\/h3>\n

Don’t feel that you have to limit yourself to just the white, because the even and odd mats are also in black and white you can use colored cardstock for those that like the color paper better than white paper. I love printing these off in my girls’ favorite colors to use.<\/p>\n
