Collecting Data through Math Games

Today, Ms Elder taught us a game called Clockominoes. In this game, you draw a domino, add the dots together, and place the domino with that total on the arm of the clock. 

We calculated as a class what the smallest number of dominoes was that you'd need to win (12), and the greatest total you'd need to win (27). We started a chart to show who in our class was the luckiest (needed the fewest dominoes to win). Then, we played to collect the data!
