About This Resource
Welcome to Study Pillars! We are so happy to help you support your child’s learning journey. If you are looking for a simple way to help your little one get to grips with maths, our "Odd and Even Numbers to 20 Worksheet" is the perfect place to start.
What is this resource?
This worksheet is designed for children in Key Stage 1 who are just beginning to explore how numbers work. It provides a clear, gentle introduction to identifying odd and even numbers between 1 and 20.
The resource breaks down the concept into easy-to-understand rules. It explains that odd numbers always end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, while even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. By separating these into clear sections, children can see the patterns for themselves without feeling overwhelmed.

What will children learn?
By using this worksheet, children will practise spotting the difference between these two types of numbers. It helps them move beyond just counting and start recognising the properties of numbers.
Understanding odd and even numbers is a key part of the maths curriculum for Year 1 and Year 2. It builds a solid foundation for more advanced topics, such as skip counting, multiplication, and division. As they work through the exercises, children will gain confidence in their ability to categorise numbers quickly and accurately.
If you need more help with these topics, you can explore our KS1 Resources or browse our Year 2 Maths Worksheets for more practice.
Tips for using this at home or in class
- Use physical objects: Maths is much easier to understand when you can touch it! Try using buttons, dried pasta, or building blocks. Ask your child to put them into pairs. If every object has a partner, the number is even. If there is one left over, it is odd.
- Look for numbers in the wild: Turn it into a game while you are out and about. Look at house numbers on your street or numbers on car registration plates. Ask your child, "Is that an odd or even number?" It’s a great way to keep them engaged while on the move.
For more support with number work, take a look at our KS2 Maths section for when they are ready for the next step.
We hope this resource makes maths time a little brighter and easier for you and your child!
