Here’s a quick game that can help your kid grasp the difference between
rolling Snake Eyes and Lucky Number Seven!
A pair of dice, two different colors (for example, red and blue)
A piece of paper
Some M&M’s or another little treat
1. Tell your child that you’re going to learn all about dice and probability.
2. Ask him how many different ways there are to roll 2 dice. Remind him that there are 6 options on
both sides. Together, you can determine that there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible rolls.
3. Ask him how many ways there are to roll a total of “2” using two dice. After thinking, he should
conclude that there’s only one way: 1 + 1
4. Ask him how many ways there are to roll a total of “7.” He should come up with 6 combinations: 1
+ 6, 6 + 1, 2 + 5, 5 + 2, 3 + 4, 4 + 3.
5. Time to figure out all of the rolls. Have him fill out the last two columns of the following chart. He
has already figured out “2” and “7,” and he can do the rest the same way.
Total to Roll Ways to Get the Total Probability of that Roll
2 1 1 /36
3 / 36
4 / 36
5 / 36
6 / 36
7 6 6 /36 = 1/6
8 / 36
9 / 36
10 / 36
11 / 36
12 / 36
7. Here’s a dice challenge for him. First, tell him the roll you want him to try and get. Then, give him
two opportunities to win a reward (like a small piece of candy.) He can win an award if he rolls
what you asked him to get. And, he can win another award for guessing the correct probability of
rolling what you’ve asked of him. Good luck!
Roll a total of “9” (1/9)
Roll a total of “11” (1/18)
Roll a total of 8” (5/36)
Roll a total of “12” (1/36)
Roll a total of “5” (1/9)
Roll a “7” or an “11” (6/36 + 2/36 = 8/36 = 2/9)
Roll a “2” or “6” (1/36 + 5/36 = 6/36 = 1/6 )
Roll a “2” or a “6” or a “7” or an “11” (1/36 + 5/36 + 6/36 + 2/36 = 14/36 = 7/18)
You can make up your own as you go
expressed as a fraction.
