Get your students moving while practising number properties with our Odd & Even Number Stand Up, Bob Down PowerPoint. This interactive digital game helps students strengthen their understanding of odd and even numbers through physical movement, visuals and whole-class participation.

Each slide displays a number, supported by a visual cue such as a ten frame. Students are prompted to decide whether the number is odd or even. If the number is odd, they bob down. If it’s even, they stand up. This kinaesthetic activity encourages active thinking and immediate engagement with number classification.

Odd & Even Number Stand Up, Bob Down PowerPoint is perfect for whole-class maths warm-ups, number lessons or quick brain breaks that combine movement and learning. With bold visuals, action prompts and a variety of numbers up to 20, this resource is ideal for Foundation to Year 2 students.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify odd and even numbers to 20
• ✅ Use reasoning strategies supported by ten frame visuals
• ✅ Engage physically in maths learning through whole-body responses

What’s Included:

• Interactive PowerPoint featuring numbers up to 20
• Visual prompts including digits, ten frames and action images
• Stand up for even, bob down for odd – with immediate feedback opportunities

Materials Needed:

• Large screen, TV or interactive whiteboard for whole-class display
• Open classroom space for students to safely stand and bob down

How to Use:

1. Open the PowerPoint and display each number slide on your classroom screen.
2. Students decide if the number is odd or even.
3. Students respond by either standing (even) or bobbing down (odd).
4. Discuss the answer and check using the visual representation if needed.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use as a warm-up to introduce or review odd and even numbers
• 💡 Play during transitions to re-focus students while reinforcing maths skills
• 💡 Use in small groups with mini whiteboards for written responses as well
• 💡 Pair students to predict and then justify their action choices before moving
• 💡 Extend by asking students to explain why the number is odd or even using number language

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Reinforce vocabulary such as “pair,” “leftover,” “even group” and “odd one out”
• 💛 Use ten frame visuals to help students connect patterns in number
• 💛 For added fun, set music between slides to keep energy high during movement breaks

Odd & Even Number Stand Up, Bob Down PowerPoint is an energetic and engaging way to practise classifying numbers – combining movement, visuals and mathematical reasoning in a whole-class format students will love.
