Objective of the game To be the first to remove all the chips from the game board. Playing the game One person rolls the dice on the felt square. The two numbers are subtracted. Each student who has a chip on that number will remove one chip. If neither student has a chip on that number, roll again.
Students continue rolling the dice until one student has no more chips.
As the students are rolling the dice, they should complete the tally sheet. After the first game, the students should evaluate the results of game 1 to determine where to place the chips for game 2. After the second game the students should evaluate the results of game 1 and game 2 to determine the placement of game 3. If you plan to use the data in another lesson, have the students record the results from game 2 on large sheets of paper. Students may answer the questions individually or in pairs.
