This lesson look at the properties and attributes of numbers, in order to help students have an understanding of odd and even. It is not enough for students to just be able to identify an odd or an even number, students should build a conceptual understanding of why a number is classified as odd or even.

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.

This is lesson 2 of 6 lessons focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson meets standard NC.K.MD.2, its primary goal is for students to learn how to work with a partner on a task. A secondary goal is to begin establishing norms for how students work together during math class.

In this lesson, students will be taking ownership of their own learning by making addition charts of facts that they know, and facts they need to learn. A logical progression of strategy instruction that can be used to help students become fluent with the facts is one more and two more than facts, facts with zero, doubles facts, and doubles plus one facts.

In this lesson, students develop their understanding of odd and even numbers. Students will begin to notice what is happening when an even and an even are added together, odd and odd, even and odd. They make generalizations by playing the game "Even Steven or Odd Rod".

In this lesson, students will deepen their understanding of odd and even by looking at numbers 1-20 to see if numbers of students in a group can have a partner. By recording their findings on a hundreds board, students should begin to find a pattern with odd and even numbers.

In this lesson, students build fluency with recognizing and creating representations of numbers within 100. Students deepen their place value understanding as they work with ten frame cards. There are several variations built into the lesson for number ranges and response options.

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 addresses standard NC.1.MD.4, its primary goal is for students to become comfortable talking with others, posing questions, and collecting data from one another. A secondary goal is to begin establishing norms for how students work together during math class.
