Time to learn about odd and even numbers!

These fun maths activities cover numbers 1 to 20, and your child can also use these sheets to practise subitising (recognising a number of objects without counting them).

Help your little one cut out the doors on these sheets, then stick them over the doorways on the next sheet so they open and close. The door number should match the number of animals behind it.

To find out whether a number is odd or even, ask children to count how many animals there are and look to see whether they're split equally across the two lines. If they are, it's an even number, and if they aren't, it's an odd number.

These activities are an extension of Giggly Maths Magazine, which is packed full of games and puzzles that follow the maths curriculum – including odds and evens, 3D shapes, numbers to 20, multiplication, and money maths. Available now on the Giggly shop!
