Flamingoes: Odd and Even Number Activity

Today the Flamingoes learned about Odd and Even numbers using Montessori Maths Method. The children were asked to put the number cards in order from 1 to 10. Then they counted the correct number of lego pieces and matched the quantity to the number cards.

The children were shown that some numbers have friends/partners( pairs) and some don't. The numbers which end up with a friend/partner are even numbers and the ones that don't are  odd numbers.

Purpose:

To reinforce the knowledge that each number is made up of separate quantities.

To learn the sequence of numbers and number recognition

To learn how many separate units go to form each number

To learn about odd and even numbers

Connection to lpfö:
