Is 14 odd or even? With these free printable worksheets, kids find out by doing. Children first make pairs with pictures to see that even numbers pair up neatly and odd numbers always have one left over. Then they look at the last digit to decide quickly, circle and cross numbers, colour a 1 to 50 chart and sort numbers into two groups.

The pages move gently from pictures to numbers, so beginners and confident learners can both join in. Print them at home or in class, and keep a pencil and two crayons handy.

How to play

Print the worksheet pages on A4 paper. Keep a pencil, an eraser and two crayons (one for odd, one for even) ready.
Start with page 1. Ask your child to circle pairs of pictures and see if one object is left alone. Left alone means the number is odd.
Move to the number pages. Remind your child to look only at the last digit: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 means even; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 means odd.
Check the answers together and let your child say two odd numbers and two even numbers out loud to finish.

This worksheet set helps your child understand that numbers can be shared into equal pairs or not. By drawing pairs first, children build a clear mental picture of even and odd instead of just memorising a rule. They then learn the quick last-digit check, which works for bigger numbers too. Along the way, kids practise counting, number recognition to 50, skip counting by twos and careful colouring. These ideas prepare children for sharing equally, doubles, halves and later multiplication and division work. Most children finish each page in about ten minutes, so it fits easily into homework time or a quiet weekend morning.

Frequently asked questions

What is the easiest way to explain odd and even numbers to a child?

Ask your child to share objects into pairs. If every object has a partner, the number is even. If one object is left alone, the number is odd. After a few tries, show the shortcut: look at the last digit of the number.

Which age group are these printable worksheets suitable for?

They suit children aged six to eight, usually Class 1 and Class 2. Younger kids can do the picture pairing page with help, while older children can be challenged to test two-digit and three-digit numbers using the last-digit rule.

Is zero an odd or an even number?

Zero is an even number. Nothing is left over when you share zero into pairs, and zero sits between two odd numbers, one and minus one. For young learners, it is enough to say that numbers ending in 0 are always even.
