Probability Board Game Project

The document provides instructions for a probability game board project. Students are asked to create an original game of chance using a minimum of two objects that can be played by 2-4 people in under 20 minutes. They must make a game board and score sheet and include rules that clearly explain how to set up, play, and win the game. Students also need to play their game 10 times, record the results, and use probability to prove their game is fair by explaining the specific probabilities in their rules.
