Rolling dice is the best way to show your learners how probability comes in to play. Although this lesson does not specify an activity, your mathematicians can try this probability with real dice to calculate their experimental probability and compare it with their theoretical probability. With three great solution options to chose from, this activity has learners calculating a probability within certain limits from rolling dice, it will definitely get them thinking!
