Description

In this probability game for two or more players, students determine the possible outcomes and determine their likelihood in order to create a winning strategy. To play this game, players select three numbers from the star (1-12), and then take turns rolling the die and putting a marker on the ray that matches the sum, the player who gets three markers on their number first wins. This resource includes teachers notes with suggestions for introducing the game, discussion questions, support suggestions,and a printable star game board.
