Odd & Even Posters are a practical and visually engaging classroom display designed to help students quickly identify and understand the difference between odd and even numbers. By providing a clear reference point, these posters support students as they work on number classification tasks in maths lessons, helping them apply the concept in both written and mental activities. Their bold, easy-to-read layout makes them suitable for use in any learning environment.

This resource includes three versions to cater for different teaching approaches and student needs. The first version comes with the numbers already filled in, providing a ready-made reference that can be displayed immediately. The second version features blank squares so the class can work together to decide and record which numbers are odd and which are even, making it a collaborative and interactive activity. The third version is a black-and-white template, perfect for students to colour and personalise, giving them ownership over their learning.

Whether you are introducing odd and even numbers for the first time, reinforcing the concept during small group rotations, or creating a maths wall reference, Odd & Even Posters offer the flexibility to be adapted to your classroom’s needs. By incorporating hands-on and visual elements, students can strengthen their number sense and improve their recall of odd and even number patterns.
