Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 7.sp.8 Tetrahedral Dice
Many games use dice which are six-sided and fair (meaning each face on the die is equally likely to land face up). Many games also use the sum of two dice rolled at the same time to determine movement of game pieces. However, not all...
