Even or Odd: Dividing Objects into Equal Groups

This video tutorial teaches how to determine if a group of objects is even or odd by dividing them into two equal groups. It uses examples with unifix cubes, buttons, bows, and balls to illustrate the concept. An even number can be divided equally with no remainder, while an odd number leaves one object unpaired. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the method of identifying even and odd numbers through equal grouping.

What does it mean for two groups to be equal?

• They have different amounts.

• They have the same amount.

• One group is larger than the other.

• They have an odd number of items.

How can you tell if a number is odd when dividing objects?

• There is one object left over.

• The groups are perfectly equal.

• The objects are all the same color.

• There are no objects left over.

What happens when you try to divide 19 bows into two equal groups?

• The bows are divided equally.

• There is one bow left over.

• The bows are all in one group.

• There are no bows left over.

How many balls are in each group when 14 balls are divided equally?

• 6 balls

• 7 balls

• 8 balls

• 9 balls

What is the key takeaway from the lesson on even and odd numbers?

• Even numbers can be divided into two equal groups without leftovers.

• Odd numbers can be divided equally.

• Even numbers always have leftovers.

• Odd numbers are always larger than even numbers.
