Course Topic(s): Probability | Randomizing Gadgets

Pass the Pigs is a commercial game in which the players roll plastic pigs as if they were dice and earn various points depending on how the pigs land. This website provides a free online version of this game. A teacher can design an activity based on this game to see if the students can determine the probabilities of the different ways that the pigs can face when they are rolled.
