Think about rolling a red 0-5 number cube and a blue 5-10
number cube. In the table below, the column on the left shows
the number that could be rolled on the red 0-5 cube, while the
row at the top shows the possibilities for the blue 5 – 10 cube.
The numbers on the two cubes can be added to get a sum as
small as 5 (0 red, 5 blue)or as great as 15 ( 5 red, 10 blue).
The spaces in the table represent the sums for every
combination of the two cubes.

Picking a Card
1. Have each member of the team pick a letter without looking. Let
them find the probability of picking an M.
2. Ask them to find the number of possible outcomes.
3. Let them answer on the prediction card. Encourage them to
determine the probability of picking an M.
4. Lead them to come up with M is 1 out of 4 or ¼.
5. Ask them to symbolize the probability as: P(M)=1/4.
