English Language Learners (ELLs), students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), and kinesthetic learners may benefit from the following: Call students to the front of the room one at a time. Ask whether or not there is a child for everyone to be paired with. If the answer is yes, model response, "Yes, there is a pair for everyone." If the answer is no, model response, "No, there is an odd person out." Record data on a T-chart labeled "All in Pairs (Even)" on one side and "Not All in Pairs (Odd)."

Students play "Pairing Pennies" with 40 pennies. Encourage them to refer to the "Circle of Digits" chart or to count by 2s to help them determine if the number is even or odd. <span style="color: #eb2d2d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Students play "Pairing Pennies" with 20 pennies. They pair the pennies to determine whether or not the total number is even or odd. <span style="color: #eb2d2d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Students group items--from 1 to 10-- and pair them to determine if even or odd. Afterwards, they record their answers in their notebooks (drawing both the picture of the item being counted and labeling even or odd).
