Introduction
Hello, wonderful mathematicians! Today, Display the title: "Explain Why a Number Made with
we're diving into something exciting! We Thousands and Hundreds Is Even."
will explore why a number made with
thousands and hundreds, like 1,000 or
1,200, is always an even number. Are you .

Example 1: Demonstrate 1100 as a number.
1. Let's start with something we know. 1. Show a large base-ten cube labeled “1,000.”
We’ve talked about how every 3-digit
A multiple of 1000 is in the category of an even
multiple of 10 is even, right? Now, what

about 1,000? Here we have a base-ten
cube to represent 1,000.
2. We can think of this cube as two equal 2. Demonstrate cutting the base-ten cube in half. Show
parts. If we cut it in half, we get 500 and two smaller cubes labeled “500” on either side.
500.
3. Look! We’ve split 1,000 into two equal 3. Introduce a base-ten hundred block next to the
groups! That tells us 1,000 is even. [Pause] thousand cube.
But what if we add a few hundreds? Let’s
add a base-ten hundred block.
4. If we add this 100, how do we know it’s 4. Cut the hundred block in half, showing “50” and “50.
still even?
.
[Link] we go! We can cut the 100 into two 5. Animate a visual transition to illustrate the
equal parts, 50 and 50. So now, we have combination into 1,100.
1,000 plus 100, which is still even.
[Pause for thinking]
Does adding hundreds change whether the
number is even? We already know the
answer.
Example 2: Prove that any 4-digit multiple of 100 is even.
1. Now, let’s think bigger! What about 1. Display the number “2,300” on the screen.
2300?
2. We can think of 2,300 as 2 thousands 2. Show 2 base-ten thousand blocks and 3 base-ten

3. Just like before, each thousand can be 3. Cut each thousand block in half, showing two blocks

4. Now we have four equal groups of 500. [Link] each of the three hundred blocks in half to show
And what about the hundreds? “50” and “50.”
5. Each hundred can also be cut into two 5. Display a base-ten model showing a thousand block
equal groups, making 150. Now we have six labeled "2,000" being split into two equal parts of
groups of 500 and 50. "1,000" each, alongside a hundred block labeled "300"
So, every time we have a number made up being split into two equal parts of "150" each,
of thousands and hundreds, we can always culminating in a visual representation of the number
split it into equal parts. That’s what makes "2,300" to illustrate its evenness.
it even!
[Pause for understanding]
So, what does this tell us about the number
2,300? [pause]
Summary
Let’s recap! Show different examples of 4-digit multiples of 100:
1,200, 3,400, 5,600.
Every thousand splits into two equal groups
Highlight the words “even” next to each example.
of 500, and every hundred splits into two
equal groups of 50. This means any number
made with only thousands and hundreds is
even.

You all did an amazing job today! You Conclusion screen.
learned how big numbers can be even, just
like those smaller ones. Now, take a look
around you and see if you can spot any big
even numbers in your life!
Can’t wait to see you next time—keep
exploring math!
Example 3. Demonstrate 1200 apples in
a heap.
Let’s take example of another number says 1200
This is also a 4-digit number with thousand and hundreds
Now 1200 can be split into two parts as 1000 and 200 hundreds.
Each part 1000 and 200 hundreds can be divided into 2 equal groups, Display 2 groups of 500
we have 2 groups of 500 each and 2 groups of 100 each. apples each and 2 groups of
100 apples each.
In the same ways we can make 2 equal groups of 2000, 1400 and so on. Show 2000 divided into 2
groups of 1000 each and so
on . . .
Let’s revise todays lesson: - Highlighting word Even few
numbers are divided as
First, we understood that 4-digit number 1000 can be divided into 2
equal 2 groups.
equal groups, so it is Even number, then we took the example of a
number having thousand and hundreds multiple of 10 and come to
know that is also a Even number.
You have done an amazing job today; hope you can understand all 4- Conclusion screen
digit multiples of 10 are Even numbers.
See you in next class with another interesting concept.
