That's not fair!


This week in maths we have been playing probability games, discussing if they are fair and what likely outcomes might be. We played the Bunny Hop game in class and we would like to share this with you.

Bunny Hop Game
1. Each player needs a counter and a coin. 
2. Place the counters on zero. 
3. Take turns tossing a coin. If it shows tails, 'hop' (move) one space to the right, if it shows heads, 'hop' move one space to the left.
4. The winner is the player who is on the highest number after 10 tosses each. Before you play, talk together about where you think the counters are most likely to be after 10 tosses each, and you think that. 

Enjoy the game!

Too easy... check out this website ((Maths is fun) if you read down to the bottom, there is a Quiz to try.
