Let each student pick one of the horses to back in the race (but don't tell them the dice will decide!).
Roll 2 dice and add together the numbers to decide which horse moves forward.
After the race, have them change their horses and race again. (This depends on the length of your lesson obviously)
Have them work out which horse is most likely to win using probability.
Why won&'t 1 move? Why is 12 very unlikely to move?
Why doesn&';t 7 win every race?
Something went wrong, please try again later.
Nicely animated version of well-known horse race with nice plenary question at the end.
