Example Game to use when learning probability: **"ELK"**

This is a dice game that the students will learn about probability. The students will learn that there is an equal probability of rolling every number of the dice. They will also learn that you should roll every number about every 6 times. After every roll of the dice you add that number to your score. If you roll a 1 your score becomes 0. If you are using two dice you only need one 1 to have your score become 0. Each student will have one or two dice depending on their age group or mathematical ability.
