9 The context Outline 1 Introduction Mathematical practice The context 2 The problem: Grade 5 6 A Simulation and Some Representations Some Conjectures 3 The same problem: Later on An Algebraic Approach A Geometric Approach 4 Parting Thoughts
10 The context Framing question When rolling 2 or more dice, are certain sums more likely to come up than others?
11 A Simulation and Some Representations Outline 1 Introduction Mathematical practice The context 2 The problem: Grade 5 6 A Simulation and Some Representations Some Conjectures 3 The same problem: Later on An Algebraic Approach A Geometric Approach 4 Parting Thoughts
12 A Simulation and Some Representations The Investigation began with a simulation: 1) How many combinations are there when tossing two dice? 2) What are the possible sums when tossing two dice? 3) Which sums do you think are most likely to come up? Toss two dice 20 times and record the outcomes: Outcome Tally Total Make a bar graph of your outcomes. Why are certain sums more likely to come up than others? Why is 7 often called a lucky number?
13 Some Conjectures Outline 1 Introduction Mathematical practice The context 2 The problem: Grade 5 6 A Simulation and Some Representations Some Conjectures 3 The same problem: Later on An Algebraic Approach A Geometric Approach 4 Parting Thoughts
14 Some Conjectures Students realized that certain sums were more likely than others. c o m b i n a ti o n s They made a table to determine all possible sums. They noticed a bell curved pattern in the number of sums with the most likely sum (7) in the middle : :1 5:2 6: :1 4:2 4:3 5:3 6: :3 3:2 3:3 3:4 4:4 5:4 6: :1 2:2 2:3 2:4 2:5 3:5 4:5 5:5 6: :1 1:2 1:3 1:4 1:5 1:6 2:6 3:6 4:6 5:6 6: Sums
15 Some Conjectures Others found sums using this table: The sum of 7 appears most often. dice
16 Some Conjectures These are all the probabilities with three dice. C O B I N A T I O N S :3:1 6:4:1 25 6:2:2 6:3:2 25 6:2:1 6:1:3 6:2:3 6:5:1 6:1:2 5:4:1 6:1:4 6:4:2 5:3:1 5:3:2 5:5:1 6:3:3 21 5:2:2 5:2:3 5:4:2 6:2:4 21 6:1:1 5:1:3 5:1:4 5:3:2 6:1:5 6:6:1 5:2:1 4:4:1 4:5:1 5:2:4 5:6:1 6:5:2 5:1:2 4:3:2 4:4:2 5:1:5 5:5:2 6:4:3 4:3:1 4:2:3 4:3:3 4:6:1 5:4:3 6:3:4 4:2:2 4:1:4 4:2:4 4:5:2 2:3:4 6:2:5 15 4:1:3 3:5:1 4:1:5 4:4:3 5:2:5 6:1:6 15 5:1:1 3:4:1 3:4:2 3:6:1 4:3:4 5:1:6 5:6:2 6:6:2 4:2:1 3:3:2 3:3:3 3:5:2 4:2:5 4:6:2 5:5:3 6:5:3 4:1:2 3:2:3 3:2:4 3:4:3 4:1:6 4:5:3 5:4:4 6:4:4 3:3:1 3:1:4 3:1:5 3:3:4 3:6:2 4:4:4 5:3:5 6:3:5 10 3:2:2 2:5:1 2:6:1 3:2:5 3:5:3 4:3:5 4:2:6 6:2:6 10 4:1:1 3:1:3 2:4:2 2:5:2 3:1:6 3:4:4 4:2:6 4:6:3 5:6:3 6:6:3 3:2:1 2:4:1 2:3:3 2:4:3 2:6:2 3:3:5 3:6:3 4:5:4 5:5:4 6:5:4 3:1:2 2:3:2 2:2:4 2:3:4 2:5:3 3:2:6 3:5:4 4:4:5 5:4:5 6:4:5 6 2:3:1 2:2:3 2:1:5 2:2:5 2:4:4 2:6:3 3:4:5 4:3:6 5:3:6 6:3:6 6 3:1:1 2:2:2 2:1:5 1:6:1 2:1:6 2:3:5 2:5:4 3:3:6 3:6:4 4:6:4 5:6:4 6:6:4 2:2:1 2:1:3 1:5:1 1:5:2 1:6:2 2:2:6 2:4:5 2:6:4 3:5:5 4:5:5 5:5:5 6:5:5 3 2:1:2 1:4:1 1:4:2 1:4:3 1:5:3 1:6:3 2:3:6 2:5:5 3:4:6 4:4:6 5:4:6 6:4:6 3 2:1:1 1:3:1 1:3:2 1:3:3 1:3:4 1:4:4 1:5:4 1:6:4 2:4:6 2:6:5 3:6:5 5:3:6 5:6:6 6:6:5 1 1:2:1 1:2:1 1:2:3 1:2:4 1:2:5 1:3:5 1:4:5 1:5:5 1:6:5 2:5:6 3:5:6 4:5:6 5:6:5 6:5:6 1 1:1:1 1:1:2 1:1:3 1:1:4 1:1:5 1:1:6 1:2:6 1:3:6 1:4:6 1:5:6 1:6:6 2:6:6 3:6:6 4:6:6 5:6:6 6:6: SUMS
17 Some Conjectures Sums 1,, Sums 2,,
18 Some Conjectures Students made this table to take a closer look: # of dice # combos Lowest Highest Lucky # roll roll 2 6 squared = cubed = & to the power of 4 = 1, to the power of 5 = 7, & to the power of 6 = 46,
19 Some Conjectures Students found that the middle number (median) was the lucky number. Lucky # (median) 7 10 & & , ,4 +3 Notice the pattern between medians on the table to the left!
20 Some Conjectures Students determined these rules: # dice # combo Lowest roll n 6 to the power n Highest roll Lucky # n 6 n Median When looking at the medians students discovered that: Every other median is a multiple of 7. Each median is 3 more then the previous median. Even number of dice have one median Odd number of dice have two medians The median number is also the mean.

22 An Algebraic Approach Structure in Expressions The table that showed that 7 is the most likely sum: dice also tells you how the other sums are distributed.
23 An Algebraic Approach Structure in Expressions This distribution of all sums can be read off from the table by collecting the like occurrences of each integer: dice Sum Number of occurrences

40 An Algebraic Approach Weird Dice: An algebraic strategy Is it possible to label the faces of two dice with positive integers, different from the standard labeling, so that the distribution of the sums is the same? Essence of the approach: Factor x+x 2 + x 3 + x 4 + x 5 + x 6 : x+x 2 + x 3 + x 4 + x 5 + x 6 = x(x+1)(x 2 + x+1)(x 2 x+1) So (x+x 2 +x 3 +x 4 +x 5 +x 6 ) 2 = x 2 (x+1) 2 (x 2 +x+1) 2 (x 2 x+1) 2 Now just rearrange these prime factors into two sets such that The product of the factors in each set has positive coefficients The product of the factors in each set, when evaluated at 1, yields 6 From there...

It s a nice thing to think about on the drive home.
42 An Algebraic Approach From CME Precalculus Minds in Action episode 23 Tony and Derman look at Exercise 9 from Lesson 7.3. Tony So, it s a wheel with 1, 2, 3, and 10 fish on it. And we want to know the average from one spin. 9. A local market has a prize wheel. Lucky customers can spin the wheel to win free fish. On one spin, it is possible to win 1 fish, 2 fish, 3 fish, or 10 fish. a. What is the average number of fish the market can expect to give away, per spin? b. Three customers spin the wheel. What is the most likely total number of fish that they win? How likely is this? 10. Take It Further Ten customers spin the Wheel of Fish from Exercise 9. Find the probability that the total number of fish they win is even. Derman I ll just add and divide. The sum is c16. So the average is 4. Tony Sounds good. Now what about two spins? Derman I think it s going to be 8. Two times four. Two spins, 4 fish each? Tony I m not sure it works that way. Let s just write out the sample space. There are only 16 ways it can go. Derman A table it is n Tony Cool. I m going to add all these numbers then divide by 16. Since the sample space is small, I won t bother making a frequency table. The sum is 128. So, the expected value for two spins is 128 over hey, you were right! It is 8. Derman It was bound to happen sometime. If I m right, for three spins the expected value should be 12. The table s going to be a mess! Tony Well, we should use a polynomial power instead. The outcomes are 1, 2, 3, and 10, so the polynomial for one spin should be (x 1 1 x 2 1 x 3 1 x 10 ) Derman Isn t x 1 just x? Tony I like writing x 1, it makes it more clear where it came from. I d do that for x 0 instead of writing 1. Scratchpad Derman Fair enough. And we raise that to the third power, since it s three spins. Expand that and... Tony Let s write that out.
