Group Task:

1. Students play in pairs and take turns.

2. After rolling the number cubes, Player 1 records the sum of the numbers.

3. Player 1 can continue as long as desired or until the sum of the number cubes is eight. If the sum is eight, the
player loses all points for that round. If the player stops before getting a sum of eight, the players record the
total of all points for the round.

4. Player 2 does the same.

5. Both players use the chart to keep a running total of points.

6. The player with the most points at the end wins!

“ Seventy percent of Earth is covered by water.”

Group Task:
 Test this statistics by having the students arrange in their table and TOSS an inflatable globe to
one another, while the students catches the globe recored whether the student’s left-thumb Is
touching land or water. Then determine the ratio of the number of times student’s thumb
touches water to the number of times they touchd water.
 In your group talk about the value/s you gain in this activity.

Group Task:
1. If you and your friend are played ,Rock, Paper and Rock
a. What is the probability that your friend will throw a rock? _______
b. What is the probability that your friend will not throw paper? _______
2. Choose two players then play rock, paper and scissor, play a total of 10 times and record your data.

Dots on die Times rolled Percentage of rolls

(use tally marks)

Let’s start with dice. Take a die (make sure it’s fair, not weighted or “funny” in any way). What are the odds
(the probability) of rolling a 3 if you roll the die one time? Hopefully you figured out that it is one in six
because there are six sides to the die, and one of those sides has three dots.
Let’s try it. Take the die and roll it 100 times, recording your results below. Calculate the percentage of each
result (for example, if you rolled a “2” 17 times, that would be 17/100, or 17 percent).

We would expect that the percentages for each number would hover around 16 or 17, which is 1/6 or .1666.
This is probability in a nutshell.
Now guess what the percentage would be if you added up the percentages of the rolls of only the odd
numbered sides. When you add up those roles, does the percentage come close to your guess?
Probability is the ratio of the times an event is likely to occur divided by the total possible events. In the case
of our die, there are six possible events, and there is one likely event for each number with each roll, or 1/6.
