Five Dice Roller
Each student (or participant) can open in a sperate browser window a virtual dice roller, such as this one linked to the image here.
Instruct students to re-size this window so they can see the dice in one window as well as the Scorecard you will share in another window.
Alternatively, each student could roll five real dice.
Scorecard
Google Sheet
This file (as well as five dice) is required for conducting the activity online with students. After you share a copy of this Google Sheet with students . . .
Each student can use one of the tabs (Deer 1, Deer 2, Deer 3, etc.) in this file to record the points from their dice rolls.
The educator and students can view the composite scores, for all students, on the first tab.
Use the second "Data Sheet" tab to analyze results.
Student Scorecards
(Optional)
This version of the scorecard (also a Google Sheet) allows students to record points without sharing their results with the class. Formatting allows for easier printing if hard copy is preferred. Click to the right to access this sheet.
