Comprehensible Input:
- The students will be presented with the definitions of even and odd numbers
- The students will be asked to write the definitions in their math notebooks
- The students will be asked to write down the examples I have put on the board to help them remember the concepts
- The students will be presented with the Even and Odd Numbers Worksheet
- We will go over the worksheet as a class then the students will be asked to work with their table groups to complete the worksheet
- After the students have finished we will go over the answers as a class
- The students will be asked to complete the Even and Odd Pattern Worksheet (this worksheet will be completed independently)
- I will walk around to make sure the students are completing the worksheet and not having any trouble
- After the students have completed the task their papers will be collected
Assessment:
- The students will be asked to draw a picture of a tree on a piece of construction paper and add apples to the tree
- They will be able to add as many apples as they choose
- The students will be asked to count the apples and determine whether there are an even or odd number of apples

- The pictures will be hung around the classroom
Closing:
- The students will be handed a 3x5 notecard
