10 or bust

Alright, welcome back Mathematicians!

Hi Ayesha.

Hi Michelle, how are you today?

I'm good and you? very well thank you. So today Ayesh and I are playing our game together but remotely so I'm gonna keep a track of your game as well as my game at the same time so I could see what was happening as if we were together so well, because we're going to play 10 frame or bust or sorry, 10 or bust.

What structure did you want to use today for for your to keep track of 10? You could use like a number line. Or you could use a drawing of your hands. Or you could use you favourite dice patterns or something?

I thinking because it's around the number 10. I would like to use a time frame. So I think I have one from something else I doing before, so I've got your 10 frame here and I thought I might like to use a number line today. So I so I just made it

out of blocks. I think I have 10, I'll just check I've got 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 and I need one more so that I've got 10 and I can use that to measure my number line on and I'll draw my number line and then I can draw the numbers on there.

And then I can label them 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 And ten OK. Have you got dice over there, Ayesh? I do. And I've got some counters. I've decided that you're going to be green and I'm going to be yellow. All right.

And then do you want to roll the dice first, or will I?

Here, I'll have to go. OK.

Right I got 4. OK, so are you putting that on your 10 frame?

I've decided to add that to my 10 frame. And did you make it 4 so it looks like a square Ayesh? Or did you make it for so it's in one line and you see one left from 5?

I did it so I see one less than five. 1234 OK, now remember when we play we going to get 3 rolls of the dice and you can only choose not to use one, but it has to be in your first move or your second move.

OK, so I've got a decision to make for the next go. Yeah, I'm rolling my dice and I got a three. So I'm going to put down 3 on my number line 1. 2. 3.

OK, Ayesh, your turn again.

alright... This time, I got a 6. Oh what are you gonna do?

Well. I know next time I have to use it so whatever roll is going to take me over 10, so I think I'll skip this one and sit this one out. So I'm not going to add 6 to my 10th frame. Yeah, because I'm just going to show everybody what that would look like if you had six more. It would mean your 10 frame is full and no matter what number you rolled, you would be busted.

OK, that's that's a good strategy. I feel disappointed you chose it, 'cause you know I like to win, but I think it's good thinking Ayesh. OK, and now we're only one number apart to you're on 4 and I'm on 3.

OK, guess what, Ayesh? I rolled a 6 too. And I'm so tempted to play it because that would get me to 9.

I'm going to try it and see what happens. So I've got three and I need to add 6 more so I'll just get six counters first.

And three. 4,5,6,7,8,9. I hope I get a one. Yes, so I see here.

I really need to get.

And I know more Thursday that I.

So that means if I need to get a nine or more for us to even tie or for me to win so to get a 9 that means I've got to roll a 5 and to get 10 I have to roll a 6.

Yeah but I also have one more roll that I can't cancel out, so I could bust

Your roll Ayesh, roll your dice!

Hey. I got a 4. OK So, Ayesh, where do you want me to put your 4?

Do you want to continue down the line? Right underneath on the bottom row. Yeah, so that I have 4 on the top row and 4 on the bottom row. Oh yeah, I had my 10 frame turned the other way so I just turned it so that I could do what you were

saying. So so now it looks like each one on the top row has a partner down the bottom? That's correct.

and there's two empty boxes. So that means you're on 8.

OK, I hope I get Lucky and get a one. Let's see what happens. Oh oh Ayesh. I got a 4 so I am definitely busted 'cause I get 10 and then I actually would need three more. So congratulations, Ayesh, you won that round. Do you want to play again?

Of course! Let's have another go. Alright. Have fun out there you mathematicians.
