Odd and Even
Seem as if the ability to identify a number as even or odd would be that important a skill for kids to learn. Turns out, it is--not so much for the name odd or even, but more to give kids an introduction to the patterns of objects and numbers. The exact pairing of numbers is an important concept in math and in life, and will be needed over and over again as kids learn skip counting, or in later years when working with other math skills. However, at this point it's crucial for children to understand the concept of odd and evens.
