Odds & Evens

Kindergarten is learning all about odd and even numbers. Morah explained that an even number can be counted by two's and an odd number can't. During calendar time, Morah puts a block down for each day as we go along. Each stack goes in piles of two. For example, when we get to the first day of the month, Morah put down one block by itself, showing it's an odd number on it's own. The second day of the month I pile the second block on top of the first, now showing a pile of two...meaning it's an even number. When we get to the 5th day of the month, there will be two stack of two blocks with one left over on the side, therefore we know it's an odd number. If it was the 6th day of the month, there would be three piles of blocks stacked in two's, therefore we know it's an even number. You can try this at home!
