1. Lesson 10.5 AIM: The Game of Pig

2. DO NOW What is a strategy? Give an example from your daily life of how you use strategies.

3. How to Play 1. Pig is a dice game. To play, you need an ordinary six-sided die, labeled 1 to 6. 2. Each turn of the game consists of one or more rolls of the die. 3. You continue to roll until you decide to stop or until you roll 1. You may choose to stop rolling at anytime.

4. Scoring 1. If you choose to stop rolling before you roll 1, your score for that turn is the sum of all the numbers you rolled on that turn. 2. If you roll 1, your turn is over, and your score for that turn is 0. 3. Each turn is scored separately.

5. Examples 1. You roll 4, 5, and 2 and decide to stop. Your score for this turn is 11. 2. You roll 3, 4, 6, and 1. The turn is over because you rolled 1. Your score for this turn is 0.

6. Your Assignment 1. Play several turns as a whole group. As you play, talk about how you are deciding whether to roll again. 2. Split into two smaller groups and play some more. 3. List some of the strategies you used. 4. Use the table to record your scores.
