Domino sets

When you buy a set of 0-6 dominoes they often come in cardboard boxes - and those boxes sometimes don't last very long!

What if you were given lots of dominoes in a bag?

Before you started playing it might be a good idea to find out if you have a full set!

How would you go about it?

How could you be sure?

What if someone gave you some 0-9 dominoes?

How many do you think there would be in a full set? 

If you do not have any dominoes, you might find our interactive Dominoes Environment useful.
