Odd and Even Numbers Sorting
Sort numbers into odd and even groups. A fun way for Grade 1 students to learn number properties.
Purpose & benefits
Odd and even numbers is a concept that pays off in every math topic to come. Kids need this understanding before addition strategies, multiplication, and even algebra later.
This worksheet asks Grade 1 and Grade 2 students to sort a list of numbers into odd and even columns. It is simple, but it locks in a critical skill.
How to use this worksheet
Explain the trick: numbers that end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 are even. Everything else is odd. If your child needs more support, use pennies or blocks. Try to split a group in half. If it works evenly, the number is even. If there is a leftover, it is odd.
💡 Tip: Sit with your child during the first few questions to make sure they understand the instructions, then let them work independently.
