• Color tens frames to show if a number is odd or even.
• Explain in your own words how a number is odd or even.
• Answer if the number is odd or even.
• Skip count in 2s – if you reach the number, it is even if you don’t it’s odd.
• Use tally marks to divide the number up – if you have equal groups, it is even if you don’t, it is odd.

This variety of activities will help most students determine if a number is odd or even and show their knowledge of this concept.
