Even Numbers
An even number is a whole number that is divisible by 2 without leaving a remainder. In other words, if a number can be divided by 2 and the result is a whole number, then it is an even number.
Examples of Even Numbers:
- 2 is an even number because 2 ÷ 2 = 1
- 4 is an even number because 4 ÷ 2 = 2
- 6 is an even number because 6 ÷ 2 = 3
- 8 is an even number because 8 ÷ 2 = 4
- 10 is an even number because 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Properties of Even Numbers:
1. Even numbers always end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
2. The sum of two even numbers is always an even number.
3. The product of two even numbers is always an even number.
Identifying Even Numbers:
To identify if a number is even, you can use the division test. If the number is divisible by 2 without leaving a remainder, then it is even. Another way is to look at the last digit of the number, if it is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, then the number is even.
Practice Questions:
Solutions:
- Yes, 14 is an even number because 14 ÷ 2 = 7
- The sum of 8 and 12 is 20, which is an even number.
- The product of 6 and 10 is 60, which is an even number.

The Number System
Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.
Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number. [8-NS1]
Expressions and Equations
Work with radicals and integer exponents.
Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^2 = p and x^3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational. [8-EE2]
