This week in Maths we have been learning about Odd and Even numbers. We started by looking at groups of objects and splitting them in half, this helped us to see if a number could be split equally. We found out that if a number is split equally it is an even number but if the number cannot be split equally and there is some left over, this is an odd number!
We played a game of musical chairs to help us practise our odd and even numbers! We knew that there was either an odd number of children or chairs or an even number of children or chairs.
If there were an odd number of chairs then there was an even number of children which meant that one child was going to be out of the game! If there were an even number of chairs then there must be an odd number of children! Either way a child was always going to be out of the game as the teacher kept taking away one chair!
Playing this game helped us to remember what numbers were odd and even numbers.

We absolutely loved playing this game!
