Put those thinking hats on and look at all the possible outcomes from rolling two different four-sided dice. The challenge in this problem is finding all the combinations when adding and subtracting the numbers from each die and creating different probabilities. The lesson tests their ability to look at the limits of the probability and practice with "more than" or "less than". The solutions include the different outcomes and probabilities for each step.
