Looking for a low prep odd and even activity created by an experienced teacher ready to use in your classroom maths rotations? This Roll to 100: Odd or Even Race Game is an exciting and educational game designed to reinforce number recognition and understanding of odd and even numbers among primary school students.

6. After 20 minutes, bring the class back together and ask the students to share their experiences during the game. What did they find challenging? Did they use any strategies to try to win the game?
