Early MathOdd or even for numbers up to 20
Circle odd or even for each number.

Each question shows one number, and the child decides whether it splits into two equal groups or has one left over. Odd and even are mixed evenly across the page instead of leaning on one, and keeps every number at twenty or below so a child can check by pairing up counters when unsure.
Odd or even is a quick skill, so the page stays short — a handful of numbers is enough to make the pattern stick.
One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
