Week 5 - Circles & Stars

Instructions

Player A rolls the die, then draws that number of fairly large circles.

Player B rolls the die and does the same.

Player A rolls the die and draws that number of stars in each of her circles.

Player B rolls the die and does the same.

Each player writes the number sentence that tells how many stars she has (for example, four circles with three stars in each circle would be 4×3 = 12 stars).

Play six rounds, then determine the total number of stars that each player has.

Variation

For each round, after Player A draws stars in his circle, determine the probability that Player B will end up with more stars than Player A.

Materials

One die

Paper and pencil for each player

And May the Fourth be with you!
