Exploring odd and even numbers

In Reception we have been looking at odd and even numbers. We used Numicon to help us to see which numbers were odd and which were even. We noticed that the odd numbers didn't have a partner and the even ones did. We also had a party for the toys and shared out the sweets between them. We noticed that if we have an odd number of sweets, we couldn't share them fairly between the toys. However, if we had an even number both the toys got the same amount of sweets.
