Probability Dice Game Part 1

Probability Dice Game Part 1 is a Grade 7 small-group investigation of the possible sums from two six-sided dice. Students identify all 36 ordered outcomes, count how many ways each sum from 2 through 12 can occur, and convert those counts into probabilities. The completed table makes the uneven distribution of sums visible instead of assuming every total is equally likely.

Use it when students are learning sample spaces and theoretical probability. Asking students to explain patterns around the most and least likely sums can deepen understanding beyond filling in the chart.
