Mathematics Lesson Plan: Even and Odd Numbers

Grade Level: 3
Duration: 30 minutes
Topic: Even and Odd Numbers

---

Objective

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Define even and odd numbers
• Identify even and odd numbers up to 100
• Understand the properties of even and odd numbers

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Number cards (1-100)
• Worksheets for practice
• Homework handouts

---

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Engage the Students: Start with a quick discussion. Ask students if they have ever noticed patterns in numbers when counting.
2. Definition: Introduce the concepts:
   • Even Numbers: A number that is divisible by 2 (e.g., 0, 2, 4, 6,...).
   • Odd Numbers: A number that is not divisible by 2 (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7,...).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

Exploring Even and Odd Numbers

1. Demonstrate with Examples: Use the whiteboard to write examples of both even and odd numbers.

   • Write a list of numbers from 1 to 20 and categorize them into even and odd.
   • Even Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
   • Odd Numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

2. Properties Discussion:

   • Explain that adding two even numbers results in an even number.
   • Adding two odd numbers results in an even number.
   • Adding an even number and an odd number results in an odd number.

Interactive Activity (10 minutes)

1. Number Card Activity:
   • Hand out number cards to each student (ensure a mix of even and odd).
   • Ask students to stand up and identify themselves as “even” or “odd” based on their number.
   • Students share their numbers with the class and state why they are even or odd.

Guided Practice (3 minutes)

1. Class Worksheet: Distribute a short worksheet with tasks:
   • List 10 even numbers between 1 and 50.
   • List 10 odd numbers between 1 and 50.

Independent Practice (2 minutes)

1. Quick Quiz: Ask students to individually complete a quick quiz on the board:
   • Write down the next two even numbers after 22.
   • Write down the next two odd numbers after 19.

Conclusion (2 minutes)

1. Recap: Summarize the lesson by reiterating the definitions and properties of even and odd numbers.
2. Q&A: Allow a few moments for questions.

Homework Assignment

Instructions: Complete the following tasks and return the assignment by the next class.

Tasks

1. Identify Numbers:

   • Write down 5 even numbers and 5 odd numbers from your home (e.g., items, street numbers, etc.).

2. Number Patterns:

   • What patterns do you notice between even and odd numbers in your list? Write 2-3 sentences about these patterns.

3. Number Line Activity:

   • Draw a number line from 0 to 50 and mark all the even numbers. Circle the odd numbers.

Correct Answers

1. Answers will vary for Task 1 based on students’ observations.
2. Expected observations for Task 2 may include: "Even numbers are found more frequently in my street numbers," etc.
3. The number line should have all even numbers correctly marked (0, 2, 4, 6,..., 50).

Additional Notes

• Ensure students understand that practicing these concepts will help strengthen their understanding of number properties.
• Encourage students to discuss their findings with family members to broaden their understanding of even and odd numbers in real life.
