Rolling Two
Dice
Experiment
Form a three groups. Each group must
have a pair of dice. In the game, Group A
gets one point when the sum of the
results ranges from 2 to 5. Group B gets
one point when the sum of the results
ranges from 6 to 8.

Group C gets one point when the
sum ranges from 9 to 12. The student
with the highest number of points
will be the winner. Use the tables on
the next page to record the results.
