Probability - a game of chance

In maths we are learning about probability.  We are discovering that some games are not fair, and are working out what makes a game fair or not fair. 

In this game we had a pretend ladder climber (a multi link cube) start in the middle.  We placed our counters somewhere on the ladder.  If we tossed the coin and got an even number the climber moved up.  If we tossed the coin and it was odd the climber moved down.  After 20 coin tosses the winner was the counter closest to the climber.  It was lots of fun.
