Decimal Digit Coverup
Trina wants to win a goldfish at the carnival.
In order for her to win, she needs to pick 2
blue tiles out of the “True Blue prize bag,”
without looking. If the prize bag contains
3 blue tiles and 3 red tiles, what is the
probability of winning the game?
Predict the number of wins you will
get in 40 trials. Then, conduct the trials
and record the outcomes.
Decimal Digit Cover-Up
The game board is one whole, 1.00. The strips are worth ten
hundredths or one tenth, 0.10; they cover 10 squares on the
game board. The small squares are worth one hundredth,
0.01; they cover one square on the game board.
Roll the die on your turn and decide if you will use tenths or
hundredths on your board.
The goal is to cover the whole game board with tenths and
hundredths without going over the edge without any overlaps.
Each player has seven turns. You must take all seven turns.
The person who comes closest to covering the
whole game board wins.
Before planting the Spring crops, Farmer John needs to determine
how many acres will be allocated for his vegetables. He decides to
plant 5% of the area with onions, 20% with tomatoes, 25% with
egg plant, 25% with corn, and 25% with carrots. The number of
acres for each crop must be whole numbers. Help John determine
the minimum number of acres that will be planted and the acreage
allotted to each vegetable.
John must also consider that different plants have different space
requirements. Use the rods to represent the required space as
follows:
Onions= tan
Corn= yellow
Tomatoes = red
Carrots= orange
Egg plant = purple

The goal of the game is to be the first player to
reach 100.
On your turn, roll the dice as many times as
you would like, mentally keeping a running
total of the sum. When you decide to stop
rolling, record your total for that turn and add
it to the total from any previous turns.
If a 1 comes up on one of the dice, your turn is
over and you score 0 points for that round. If
you roll a 1 on both dice, you lose your turn
and ALL points.

Roll a die. Decide if the number represents
10 or 1. For example, if you roll a 4, you
must decide if you would like 4 or 40 points.
Pass the die to the next player who also rolls
once and decides how many points.
After each turn, add your points.
Play 7 rounds (you must play all rounds)
The player who is closest to 100 (above or
below) after 7 rounds wins!
