What does Even really mean?

Even is a word we use to talk about things that are the same or equal. It's like when you and your friend each have the same number of toys, you can say "Our toy collections are even." It's also used when things are smooth and not bumpy, like the surface of a table. If you touch it and it feels flat and smooth, you can say "The table is even."

For example, if you and your friend each have 3 cookies, the number of cookies is even because it's the same for both of you. If the number of cookies was different, then it wouldn't be even.

So, when we talk about "even," it means that things are balanced, equal, or smooth. It's a word we use a lot in math and when we're describing things that are the same or balanced.
