                    this is a game on even and odd numbers.

                    Each student takes a random number of snap cubes (between 0 and 20). She/he has
                    to build two towers that are of the same size.  If one tower is one cube taller than the
                    other, then the number is an odd number. Students write their numbers on a sticky

                    note and stick it in the correct category on an anchor chart. Afterwards, they will
                    have a discussion about what patterns they notice with the numbers in the even and
                    odd columns and record their observations on an anchor chart.

                                         2 + 2 = 4 (EVEN)                     3 + 2 = 5 (ODD)

                  A Pinch of history

                  In the  religious  text  – Yajurveda,  Chapter 18 Shloka  24  talks  about  odd  numbers
                  (1, 3, 5 ___ 33) in pairs which when added give even numbers. Shloka 25 talks about 4, 8,
                  12 ___ 44 which are all even.
