Odd and Even Numbers Sorting Activity

Identify and sort 2- and 3-digit numbers into odd and even categories.

Make Learning Numbers An Odds & Evens Game

Reinforce your number lessons with our odd and even numbers sorting activity! Through this game, students will practise odd or even number identification strategies as well as strengthen their algebraic thinking skills needed for future mathematical operations like multiplication and division.

Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

Support students who need help understanding the concepts by using fewer cards, beginning with the smaller digit numbers and increasing in difficulty. 

Students can also count out each number with manipulatives and pair them in twos. If there aren’t any leftover manipulatives, the number is even; if there are it’s odd. Students can also divide the numbers by 2 to determine if the number is even or odd.

Challenge fast finishers who already understand the concept by giving them larger numbers to identify as even or odd. Students can choose an even number and an odd number to provide an explanation for how to identify the number. 

Use These Cards For More Odd & Even Number Activities

We created this resource for your math center as an independent practice activity. We also suggest using it to reinforce your guided math groups and full-class lessons in the following ways:
