Triplet

probability · probability of single events with dice

Make a connection between the number of faces, on various dice, and the probability of a single event [6.SP(CU).11].

Triplet is a Grade 7 probability race where each player chooses a die and tries to work through a deck of target-value cards. Students repeatedly roll until the die matches the current card, then move to the next target. Different dice can have different numbers of faces, so the game creates a natural comparison of how sample-space size affects the chance of one event.

Use it for small-group probability work when students are connecting die structure with single-event probability. After playing, compare how quickly different dice moved through the same card sequence. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate teacher-ready lesson support for Triplet.
