If you missed last week's post about estimation books, you can check it out here!

I have written in the past about some of my favorite books about odd and even numbers but today I want to share with you a few other odd and even books that I have recently added to my collection.

Missing Mittens 

 

This is a story first shown to me by a preschool teacher.  It is written in poem format and is a very nice winter story about a farmer and his animals.  All of his animals like to wear mittens but one keeps turning up missing.  It is a gentle introduction to odd and even numbers and a very cute story as well.  Great for K-2 students.  

Among the Odds & Evens: A Tale of Adventure

This is a very unique book about x and y whose plane crashes in the village of Wontoo.  They notice that the land seems to be filled with evens and odds.  They ask a lot of questions about why folks are odd and even while they try to fix their plane.  This book is best for students in grades 3-6.    It gets into some bigger ideas about adding odd and even numbers.  

What books do you use to teach odd and even?  Please respond in the comments below.
