5.3 During a rainy day, a family decided
to play a game of ‘Snakes &
Ladders’.
The idea of the game is to start at 1
and end at 100 by rolling either one
or two dice.
If one die (dice) is used, the player
moves the number of spaces that
appears on the topside of the dice.
If two six sided dice are used, the
player would move the number of
spaces which is the sum of both
dice.
For
example: if a player rolls a ‘3’ on the one dice and a ‘5’ on
the other dice, the player moves eight spaces forward.
