Even and Odd Worksheets for Kindergarten

What Are Even and Odd Numbers?

Even and odd numbers are like two teams. Every whole number belongs to one of these teams.

Even Numbers

Even numbers can be shared into two equal groups with nothing left over. For example, 2 shoes, 4 wheels, or 6 eggs. Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

Odd Numbers

Odd numbers cannot be shared equally. One is always left over. For example, 3 cookies or 5 crayons. Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.

A Quick Trick to Remember

Try making pairs. If each item has a partner, the number is even. If one item is left without a partner, the number is odd.

How to Teach Even and Odd Numbers at Home or in Class

Start With Real Things

Use toys, blocks, or snacks. Ask your child to make pairs and notice if anything is left over.

Use Simple Words

Say, "even means everyone has a buddy" and "odd means one is left alone." Short, fun phrases help kids remember.

Practice a Little Each Day

Spending five minutes a day works better than one long lesson. Print one worksheet and make it part of your daily routine.

Mix in Other Math Skills

Even and odd ideas grow stronger when you mix in other skills. Try Counting, Patterns, Addition, and Subtraction.
