What does this 2nd grade even, odd and arrays unit cover?

It introduces even and odd numbers by pairing objects and skip counting by 2s, then arrays: rows and columns written as a repeated addition sentence. By the end a child should tell whether a group up to 20 is even or odd and write 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 for an array.

How does RepeatWatch help with this unit?

Use Repeat one on a skip counting song, or set an A–B loop on one array example so your child can count along again. Slow a lesson to 0.75× for new readers, save lesson parts on keys 1–9, and use Stop after N loops to end a session on time.

Frequently asked questions

Is this unit the start of multiplication?

Yes, in a gentle way. Arrays and repeated addition in 2nd grade lay the groundwork; multiplication facts and the × sign are usually taught in 3rd grade. A few lessons here use the word multiplication to show where the idea leads.

What age learns even and odd numbers?

In the US, even and odd numbers are usually part of 2nd grade (ages 7–8). Grade levels vary by country and school, and many children meet the idea earlier through counting by 2s songs.
