Dice Roller (1-5 dice for IWB: Probability/Games)

An on screen dice roller I have made using Excel. Choose from 1-5 dice at a time, then press the "Roll" button to generate new dice. This dice roller works great during probability units as well as complimenting whole class experiments/games (see my other items for sale). Just save this file to your desktop and you'll always have interactive dice to hand.
Texas Yahtzee - Probability Class Game

Texas Yahtzee - Probability Class Game

A great way to teach the underlying concepts of probability is a game of Yahtzee. This has always been difficult until now, with this poker twist version. The teacher rolls 5 dice which cannot be changed. Students in pairs/solo roll 3 of their own dice up to 3 times. Yahtzee hands are made and scored. Every round that has a Yahtzee drops the teachers dice down to 4, and then 3! The PowerPoint includes full instructions displayed in an easy way to help first time players grasp the game quickly. This works brilliantly with the Excel Dice Roller that I wrote specifically for this game. Find it in my shop or purchase the version that has it bundled @ 50% off! Good luck rolling!

Who's the greediest pig? Time to find out! This resource includes 3 version of Greedy Pig ready to go, with some class discussion and investigation included around strategy and probabilities for the game. I have used this many times with my classes and the enthusiasm it generates seems to help students really engage with the probability element of the game - anything that improves their chances of winning I suppose! This purchase includes my incredibly useful Excel Dice Roller @ 50% off. A version without the roller is available separately in my shop. Good luck and get greedy!

Several games that can be run from the whiteboard with ease, which students can do at the back of their books. Included games are: - Column addition - Column subtraction - Grid Multiplication (U x HTU and TU x HTU) - Column Multiplication (U x HTU and TU x HTU) - Division (bus stop method - division by single and double digits) I have run these at the start and end of lessons, and kids love them. They have now replaced any scheme of work teaching relating to the basic calculations, as I just scatter them in all throughout the year at random times or if a task finishes much earlier than planned. This purchase includes my Excel Dice Roller file @ 50% off! Beware! Some students get very competitive!
