Even and odd ordinals
Alright kiddo, let's talk about even and odd ordinals. First, let's talk about what an ordinal is. An ordinal is just a fancy word for a number that tells us the order in which things happen or exist.
Now, even and odd ordinals are just like even and odd numbers that you've learned about in school. Even ordinals are the ones that can be split into two equal parts (like 2, 4, 6, and so on) while odd ordinals are the ones that can't be split into two equal parts (like 1, 3, 5, and so on).
But how do we know if an ordinal is even or odd? Well, we can figure that out by looking at the order in which things happen or exist. Let's take a look at some examples:
- The first ordinal is 1. This is an odd ordinal because there is only one thing that comes first.
- The second ordinal is 2. This is an even ordinal because there are two things that come second: first comes 1, then comes 2.
- The third ordinal is 3. This is an odd ordinal because there are three things that come third: first comes 1, then comes 2, then comes 3.
- The fourth ordinal is 4. This is an even ordinal because there are four things that come fourth: first comes 1, then comes 2, then comes 3, then comes 4.
And so on and so forth.
So that's what even and odd ordinals are all about, kiddo. Just think of them as the order in which things happen or exist, and remember that even ordinals can be split into two equal parts while odd ordinals can't.
