Lesson Plan of Even and Odd Numbers

Lesson Plan of Even and Odd Numbers

Subject Mathematics

Grade III

Students` Learning Outcomes

• Identify even or odd numbers up to 99 within a given sequence.

Information for Teachers

• The numbers which can be divided completely into pairs are called even numbers.
• The numbers which can`t be divided completely into pairs are called odd numbers.
• 0, 2,4,6,8 are first even numbers.
• 1, 3,5,7,9 are first five odd numbers.

• Any number whose last digit is 0, 2,4,6,8 is an even number.
• Any number whose last digit is not 0, 2,4,6,8 is an Odd number.
• While teaching the lesson, also consult textbook where and when applicable.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, flashcards of numbers 0 to 99, chart having different objects in pairs and some are not in pairs, textbook

Introduction

• Explain the concept of pairs to the students by giving examples on the board.
• Display a chart in front of the students in which different objects are given in pairs and without pairs.
• If chart isn`t available draw some objects (ball, star, square, flower, etc.) on the board in pairs and some not in pairs.
• Ask the students to make pairs and find which aren`t in pairs.

Development

Activity 1

• Call one student in front of the class.
• Ask the students: how many students are there in front of the class? Note their response on the board.
• Then ask how many pairs of students are there in front of the class?
• After taking their response explain to them that one (1) student can`t form a pair.
• So 1 is an odd number.
• Now call two students in front of the class.
• Ask the students how many students are there in front of the class? Note their response on the board.
• Ask them how many pairs of students are there in front of the class?
• After taking their response explain to them that 2 students form a pair.
• So 2 is an even number.
• Carry on this activity to sort out even and odd numbers up to 9.
• At the end ask the students to write first five even and odd numbers.

Activity 2

• Write down even numbers in sequence from 10 to 20 on the board.
• Ask:
  • • What digit do you see in these numbers at the ones place? (They should say numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, 8)
• Write down odd numbers in sequence from 10 to 20 on the board.
• Ask:
  • • What digit do you see in these numbers at the ones place? (They should say numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
• Tell the students that to find the number as even or odd, we see the digit at which the number ends.
  • • Even numbers end at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
    • Odd numbers end at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
• Demonstrate how a number is said even or odd by doing some examples on the board:

• Write the following numbers on the board and ask the students to identify these numbers as even or odd:

Activity 3

• Demonstrate the identification of even numbers in a sequence using number flashcards.

• Divide the class in different groups and distribute flashcards to each group.
• Ask them to identify even numbers in sequence using number cards.
• Divide the class in different groups and distribute ten flashcards to each group.
• Ask them to identify even numbers in sequence using number cards.

Activity 4

• Demonstrate the identification of odd numbers in a sequence using number flashcards.

• Divide the class In different groups and distribute ten flashcards to each group.
• Ask them to identify odd numbers in sequence using number cards.

Sum up / Conclusion

• First five even numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
• First five odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
• The numbers whose last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 are even numbers.
• The number whose last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are odd numbers.

Assessment

• Write the following numbers on the board and ask the students to encircle the even numbers.

• Write the following numbers on the board and ask the students to encircle the odd numbers

Follow up

• Ask the students to:
  • • Write the next seven even numbers after 72 in sequence.
    • Write five odd numbers before 89 in sequence.
    • Make a chart of first five even and odd numbers.
