Probability Snail Game

Maths: Snail Race 

Results: When we played the game 7 came 1st, 6 came 2nd and 5 came 3rd. 

4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 are more likely to win than 1,2,3,11 and 12. 

 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 are the best to get because they can get rolled with doubles or other combinations of numbers. 1,2,3,11 and 12 are the worst because you have 2 dice so 1 is impossible to get and 2 is really hard to get because you have to roll a 1-1 which is really hard(number 2 only went up one space in our game) and it is hard because it is also hard to get 12 because you need to get a 6-6 which is also hard to get. 3 and 11 are also hard because you have to get 1 equation to get it.

 How to play: 

1. Set up your board with 12 'snails'   
2. Make sure someone is in charge of moving each snail 
3. Take turns rolling two dice and add the numbers together 
4. Move that number snail one place along the board 
5. Keep playing until 3 snails have crossed the finish line 
6. Record the 1st(5 pts), 2nd (3 pts) and 3rd(1 pt) 
7. Play the game at least 5 more times to see which number wins the most  

Fractions: 1-0/21 2-1/21 3-1/21 4-2/21 5-2/21 6-3/21 7-3/21 8-3/21 9-2/21 10-2/21 11-1/21 12-1/21

This is the table the class made together for which dice is the most likely to win a 
game. We all thought that 6,7 and 8 would be the most but it turned out that it was just 7.
