2nd Grade Odd and Even Groups worksheets

About this worksheet

An even number can be split into pairs with nothing left over, and an odd number always has one left over. Second graders learn that every number ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 is even, and every number ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 is odd, whatever its size. That lets a child sort 7, 50, 13 and 356 by looking at only the last digit.

This worksheet shows twelve numbers, some one-digit, some two-digit and some three-digit, and your child circles odd or even for each. Ask why the last digit decides it: tens, hundreds and every other place are made of whole pairs. If your child is unsure, draw dots and make pairs.

What your child will learn

• Tell odd numbers from even numbers
• Use the last digit to decide
• Understand that an even number splits into pairs with none left over
