Using models to represent odd and even numbers is a great way to help students fully understand this number property, as well as the math strategies of doubles and doubles plus one. Students must conceptualize dividing by two in the framework of real-world objects, taking something that is abstract and making it concrete. This deepens their understanding and helps them apply what they've learned! This resource includes: 290-word article that describes number properties, defines odd and even numb

Using models to represent factors and determine whether numbers are prime or composite is a great way to help students fully understand the concepts of factoring, prime and composite, and multiplication. Students must conceptualize multiplication in the framework of real-world objects, taking something that is abstract and making it concrete. This deepens their understanding and helps them apply what they've learned! This activity tasks students with dividing models up into equal groups, indicat

Extend your students’ number sense while teaching number parity. This activity lets students develop mental math abilities, problem solving strategies, and number sense by creating addition problems for odd and even numbers. Extend your students’ thinking!Students can review odd and even numbers by reading this article: Number Properties: Odd and Even.

This activity brings the concept of odd and even numbers into the real world. Students must identify the number that the shapes represent, and then circle groups to show WHY each number is either odd or even. The problems begin easy, but by the end students must count groups of objects, extending their knowledge from simple arrays to unorganized groups. They’ll love the pictures! Here's what you get: Brief explanation of odd and even numbersExample problems on first pageFour worksheets in allFul

Factor rainbows are a great way to engage students. They give students a point of reference, a systematic method, and motivation to find the factors of a number. After all, they see a rainbow at the end, along with the factors of the number they're factoring! This sheet provides everything a student needs to get started with factoring. Here's what you get. Very brief article that defines factors and productsStep by step instructions for finding factors with factor rainbowsScaffolding so students
