Hi,


Just a quick check. 2 X 3 means

2 groups with 3 items (I can't think of what is the correct term) in each group?

How to teach odd and even numbers to pre-school kid?

1) according to p1 syllabus (as of 2 yrs back), 2x3 means 2 groups of 3 items.

2) teaching odd and even numbers to preschoolers, I am assuming that it only involves numbers <20. this is what i vaguely remember what my son learned when he was a preschooler:
- odd numbers have no partners/friends
- even numbers have partners/friends
so when you 'grouped' them into twos (ie circle them in twos, or join them into pairs), the number that has a 'remainder' without a 'friend' is an odd number.
erm..you get what i mean?

Thanks, great help.
