Games and activities are wonderful for igniting interest in nearly any topic. With a pair of dice, your class will practice their basic math and social skills at the same time. Learners battle it out to see who can roll only odds or only evens in a game of twenty throws. They use the data collected from their games to fill out a table that will help them see patterns and predict possible outcomes. There are three different probability games total, and each one comes with vocabulary, a related worksheet, and data displays.
