Odds and Ends of Odds and Evens: An Inquiry into Students' Understanding of Even and Odd Numbers.
Zazkis, Rina
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v36 n1 p73-89 Jun 1998
Examines the differences in preservice elementary school teachers' perceptions between divisibility by two, or evenness, and divisibility by another number. Concludes that the equivalence of the number properties of being even and being divisible by two is not taken for granted; rather, the parity is often perceived as a function of the last digit of the number.
