Sorting Odd and Even Numbers in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics
Sorting Odd and Even Numbers is part of IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics, within Odd and Even Numbers. At this emerging stage (ages 6–7), learners work on sorting numbers into odd and even groups, using pairs or the last digit to decide and explaining each choice.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.
What learners practise
- Sorting numbers into odd and even groups
- Using pairs or the last digit to decide
- Explaining each choice
- Checking sorted groups
For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use sorting odd and even numbers activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
When you get a question wrong, redo it a day later without looking at the solution. If you can do it cold, the idea has stuck.
Quick answers
