Using this activity, pupils can practice writing the word equations and the symbol equations for their own chosen reactions. This activity requires a dice. Roll the dice to chose a cation (number on the dice corresponds to a cation in the first box), then roll the dice again to chose an anion. Roll the dice as many times as required until pupils are confident in writing balanced symbol equations.
