=**Dice Game - Sequencing Numbers**=

This game can be played as a whole class, or students working in a small group.

1.	Roll two dice. Eg. 2 & 5 gives you a choice of placing 52 or 25 on the game board.

2.	Choose where to place the number, hoping that you can keep placing the following numbers in order. Once a number is placed, wait for the next dice roll.

3.	If you can’t place a number, miss a turn.

The aim of the game is to place numbers in order filling all the boxes.

Variations: 1.	Vary the dice used. Eg. Using a six-sided dice with an eight or ten-sided dice will require players to ‘reinvent’ their intuitive sense of probability of different numbers that might be possible. It would also be possible to use dice that have hundreds and tens on them as well. 2.	Introduce a decimal point. Eg. 3 & 5 gives a choice of 3.5 or 5.3 3.	Use a horizontal set of boxes, so that students have to adapt their sense of numbers. 4.	Younger students might benefit from using a number line to record their numbers. 5.	More boxes can be easily added if a longer game would be useful. Using dice with more numbers may require a longer game (more boxes) to create the ‘necessary tension.’ 6.	Play a ‘public game’ where two students are playing against each other, but can ‘phone a friend’ for advice.
