Odd and Even Caterpillars

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students colour code the caterpillars to show odd and even numbers. Designed for early years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify odd and even numbers.
  • Apply colour coding to distinguish between odd and even numbers.
  • Enhance number recognition and categorisation skills.

How the Activity Works:

Each caterpillar is divided into segments, each with a number. Students are tasked with colouring the even-numbered segments yellow and the odd-numbered segments purple. This activity helps reinforce the concepts of odd and even numbers in a fun, visual way, encouraging students to practise number recognition and colour coordination.
