Classroom experiments with dice

This booklet contains ideas for 24 experiments with dice which it is hoped will provide materials for many interesting lessons. Suggestions are given in the early experiments for the number of throws or trials which would be appropriate. No attempt has been made to classify them as suitable for a particular age group of level of ability. Probability can be treated at many levels and the teacher is in the best position to see what is needed.
