odd and even

Let us consider two objects having same properties. For example, a set of two anklets, a set of two bangles.

Numbers that can be arranged in twos completely are called even numbers.

Here, 6 birds make 3 sets of twos. So, 6 is an even number.

Objects that cannot be completely arranged in twos are called odd numbers.

Here out of 5 birds, 2 sets of twos can be made. But 1 bird is left.

Hence 5 is an odd number.

Practice

Let us arrange the given seeds in twos according to the number and check whether they are odd or even.

From the above table, we can conclude that the numbers 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19 and so on have one set of seed that cannot be arranged in twos and they are called odd numbers.

The numbers 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 have all the seeds arranged in twos and hence they are called even numbers.

Look at the odd numbers given above. These numbers have any one of the numbers 1,3,5,7 and 9 in their one’s place.

Look at the even numbers given above. These numbers have any one of the numbers 2,4,6,8 and 0 in their one’s place.

Besides, we can observe that odd and even numbers come alternatively.

Game

* This game is played by two players using tamarind seeds. First the tamarind seeds are made into two equal groups. Let player 1 take a handful of seeds from one of the groups and player 2 guess whether the number of seeds in his hand is odd or even.

* Once player 2 gives the answer as odd or even. Player 1 arranges the seeds that are in his hands in twos to check the answer.

* If the guess made by the player 2 is right, player 1 gives all the seeds in his hand to player 2 and the chance of playing passes to player 2.

* If the guess made by the player 2 is wrong, player 2 has to give equal number of seeds to player 1 and the next chance of playing will be given to player 1.

* The game continues like this and the player with more number of seeds wins the game.
