What did you have to find out?
We had to find out how many times 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 were rolled in sets of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 5000 rolls. We also had to find out how increasing or decreasing the number affects the outcome.
What materials did you use?
We used the Chances Dice Roller website, the Paint software, paper, pencils and our printer.
How did you think? What strategies did you use? How did you solve this problem?
We used the strategies Chance and Data. We solved this problem by rolling the allocated amount of times and then copied the page into a Paint page. We did this continuously until we had finished the problem.
What answers did you come up with?
We made these graphs which contain the information needed to complete part one of the problem. We also figured out that the bigger the number of rolls gets, the more complicated the percentages and the graph becomes. There is also always every number possible rolled when there is a great amount of rolls.
