Lesson 1- Identifying Odd and Even Numbers

Objectives:

At the end of this lesson, students should be able to,

• Identify odd, even, prime, composite, square and triangular numbers.
• Determine the sum, difference and product of odd and even numbers.

When we talk of properties of numbers, we refer to whether the number is odd, even, prime, square etc.

SOME DEFINITIONS:

ODD NUMBERS: These are numbers that always leave a remainder when divided by 2.

Odd numbers are not seen in the two times table. They end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. 

Examples are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 45, 127, 2369, 33033, 101, 815, 24519, 6000003, etc.

EVEN NUMBERS: These are numbers that do not have a remainder when divided by 2.

Even numbers are numbers in the two times table. They end in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0.

Examples are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 46, 932, 10258, 5620, 102004, 756148, etc.
