Question Video: Deciding If a Number Is Odd or Even by Making Two Equal Groups Mathematics • Second Year of Primary School

Video Transcript

Here is a group of six people. Can we split them into two groups with the same number of people in each group?

In this question, we’re shown a picture of a group of six people. The question asks us whether or not we can split this group of people into two groups, with each group having the same number of people in it. This question is all about investigating odd and even numbers. If we can split the people into two equal groups, we know that six is an even number. And if we can’t, we know it’s an odd number. So, can we split six people into two equal groups? Yes, we can. Six is an even number.
