Racing Game with One Die

Two players each roll a die, and the lucky player moves one step to the finish. Parameters: what rolls win and how many steps to the finish line.

 

Spinner

Students can create a game spinner with one to twelve sectors to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities.

 

Adjustable Spinner

Students can create a game spinner with variable sized sectors to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Sizes of sectors, number of sectors, number of trials.
