This is lesson four in a series of six lessons focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson introduces standard NC.2.OA.3, its primary goal is for students to become comfortable talking with peers, posing questions to each other, sharing in collaborative groups, and using existing community math norms. A secondary goal is to begin exposing them to even/odd numbers.
