The Game of Pig (2-dice)
Practice thinking strategically as you roll the dice by Marilyn Burns
What to do:
1. two or more players take turns rolling two dice
2. on a turn, you or the other player roll the dice take turns rolling the dice, recording the product of the numbers rolled
3. if a 1 comes up on one of the dice, the player scores 0 for that round and misses a turn BUT if a 1 comes up on both dice, the turn ends and the players entire accumulated total becomes 0
4. the first player to reach a total of 100 points wins.
5. after playing the game, think about the math strategies you used during this game
