mgh168 has come up with a superb engaging innovation on the classic two dice problem. I've used a couple of times over the last few days with several different classes and so here are some of the resources I've created.
You can find the original TES resource "China River Crossing. Sample Space.Probability" by mgh168.
The China River Game is very good and these files then take the students on from it. There is some data from a class and what dice scores they got - the spreadsheet can be easily amended to collect your class data.
The Circus sheet is a task sheet for them to prompt discussion on outcomes - I have done this as a short 10 minute activity as a part of a whole lesson of students moving around many probability 'circus' activities.
The Pier sheet can be printed onto A3 for the China game.
The fact sheet will be useful.
The ChinaBoatWS is useful for taking the understanding further.
See the PowerPoint of the images of 10 student sample layouts on the piers.
The Dice Bingo is a very good plenary/review. It's amazing how many students still insist on putting 12 on it.
I also did the original experiment of rolling the two dice and looking at the scores. A SMART notebook is included for doing this including a graph WS for recording the scores.
It's all free so download and you'll see what all the files are as they are obvious when you open them.
If you find it useful do visit my TES shop and see my other resources on TES including many premium resources which I hope will save you lots of preparation time. Anything you like please do leave a review. Thanks
