EVEN OR ODD – ADDITION

addition · adding card values and identifying odd or even dice sums

To add numbers with sums up to 20, to identify numbers as even or odd

EVEN OR ODD – ADDITION is a Grade 2 addition game that blends sums within 20 with odd and even reasoning. Each player adds two card values and says the sum aloud, then a dice roll decides whether the highest or lowest sum earns the point. That twist makes students compare several sums while continuing to calculate accurately from round to round.

Use it for small-group fact practice when you want addition, comparison, and even/odd language in the same activity. Because the winning condition changes with the roll, students have to keep thinking about all the numbers on the table.
