As they roll the game die, count the number of dots displayed, and mark off the same number of pennies on their worksheet, your students will build counting skills as well as reinforce the concept of 1:1 correspondence. Coloring is great, but for a more tactile experience (and a way to provide your kiddos with more fine motor practice), consider providing each player with a roll of pennies to use as markers on their game board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePenny Probability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvite your kiddos to practice collecting and analyzing data with this fun penny probability exercise!
