Lesson details
Key learning points
- All numbers in the two times table are even.
- All numbers in the two times table are divisible by 2
- If a number is even, it is in the two times table and is divisible by 2
- If a number is odd, it is not divisible by 2 because when divided by 2, it does not give two whole numbers.
Keywords
Divisible - When a number can be divided into equal parts without any left over, we can say that it is divisible by ___
Even - Any number that can be divided exactly by 2 is an even number. The last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
Common misconception
Children may not see 2-digit numbers as divisible by 2 if they are not in their 2 times tables.
Encourage children to apply the knowledge that a number is divisible by 2 when it is even. The distinction between even and odd numbers can be revisited prior to the lesson and displayed to reference within the lesson.
