Dilemma Dice

* * * Opposite faces of the dice add up to 7a * * *

If the dice is rolled along this path without slipping, what will be displayed on the top face of the dice in the last square?

3a a 2a

You can make a dice to help work out the answer, but if you can give the correct answer before the dice is made up you will score 6 points.

(A tactic might be for some of the team to work on the dice whilst others try to work out the answer)

Making the dice There are 4 nets to choose from - you only need to make one dice.

Be careful!!!!! One of the nets does not work!

Once the dice is completed put the expressions onto the faces and roll it along the track on the back of this sheet to check your answer. If you have already made a guess you can change it but for this guess you will only score 4 points.

* * * BONUS POINTS can be won for your dice DILEMMA DICE

Video Conference notes

Extra questions: - Place dice on START with 3a on the top as the diagram on your sheet. - If the dice rolls five times, and a = 4 what is the value showing on the top of the dice? (6a = 24)

- Place the dice on START with 3a on top as before - If the dice rolls 4 times and a = 23 what is the value of the bottom of the dice? (2a = 46)
