September Challenge - Years 1 & 2

Here are two dice.
 

If you add up the dots on the top you will get 8.
 

Find two dice to roll yourself. 

Add the numbers that are on the top.

What other totals could you get if you roll the dice again?

Notes for adults:
You will need two dice to play this game. 

The children can count the total number of spots on the dice or add them together using number facts they already know.
Record the results and explore the different totals that you can get.
Help them to find all the possible combinations (although not all combinations are necessary for your solution).

Some guiding questions:

Can you make a bigger/smaller total?

What is the highest total you could make?
What is the lowest total you could make?
If one dice shows 6, what could the other dice be showing?

How will you know when you've found all the totals?  

Solutions: 

Possible totals include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
