Free Even & Odd Math Help Mat Printable
Some math concepts are so hard to understand. I know that the idea of even and odd is one of those hard math activities.
I have kids that always learn better when they have a math aide. The Even & Odd Math Help Mat Printable is the newest math help mat I have made.
It is a simple way to work on what is even and what is odd?
The Even & Odd Math Help Mat Printable is a great addition to the even and odd printables on the site.
What are Even and Odd Numbers?
An even number is a number that can be divided by 2. These are numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8. These will be even numbers. 4 divided by 2 is 2. You will also find numbers that end in 0 are even.
An odd number is a number that can’t be divided by 2. These are numbers like 3, 5, 7, 9. These numbers can’t be divided by two evenly. They will always have a reminder. You will also find numbers that end in 1 are odd.
Another way to say this is that you can make equal pairs of numbers it is even. If you can’t make pairs for every number it is odd.
Even and Odd Help Mat Printables
On each side of the mat, the numbers are sorted by what is even and what is odd. It is an easy way to look and see what is type each number is. They color in a color version and a black and white. There are two even and odd daysmats options for kids to use.
Even and Odd Help Mat Printable – Filled In Printable
The first version of the even and odd mat has the numbers on the side and a ten frame in the middle with numbers 1 to 10 shown.
Even and Odd Help Mat Printable – Blank in the Middle
The second version of the even and off help mat just has the numbers on the side and the blank ten frame in the middle.
I recommend printing in cardstock
How we have used the Even and Odd Help Mat Printables
There are many ways to use these mats. But I love using these to teach the idea of even and odd.
Setting up the Even and Odd Help Mat Printables
Here is a look at how I set up the even and odd mat with number in the middle. I give them 10 unifix cubes
A Rolling Even and Odd Math Game
I am using the set up from above. I have kids start by rolling the dice and looking at the number they got. You can use any die that has 10 sides.
They fill in the numbers in the middle on the ten frame to match the number 4.
You can see that the number is the same on each side. By having the same amount you explain that is even. You could also tell them they have two pairs
They can circle the number on the side of the mat as well.
You can see an example of how odd looks on the mat. This is an easy way for kids to see what is odd and even look like. You can see that there are not an even pairs of unfix cubes.
Use the Even and Odd Mat with Number Cards
You can use the even and odd mat printable to help with different activities for even and odd.
We used it with the firefly sorting recently. It was a great help when you need a visual look at the number.
Print the Mats on Colored Cardstock
Don’t feel that you have to limit yourself to just the white, because the even and odd mats are also in black and white you can use colored cardstock for those that like the color paper better than white paper. I love printing these off in my girls’ favorite colors to use.
