Decide who will be Partner A and who will be Partner B.
The result of Partner A’s roll is represented by the values on the left side of the table. The result of Partner B’s roll is represented by the values on the top of the table.
Roll your number cube. Record the result of the roll. For example, if Partner A rolls a 3 and Partner B rolls a 5, then make a mark in the third row down and fifth column over. Repeat this process as many times as you can until your teacher tells you to stop.

- Do the values in the table match your expectation? Explain your reasoning.
- According to the data in the table, how many times did Partner A roll a 5?
- How many times did you both roll the same number?
- What percentage of the rolls resulted in the same number from both partners?
- What percentage of the rolls resulted in Partner A rolling a 3 and Partner B rolling a 6?
- Use the table to estimate the probability that Partner A will roll a 2 and Partner B will roll a 4. Explain your reasoning.
