The Train Dice
What We Did
We got 4 dice and we focused on the last two carriages. So we had 3 and 2 connected with 1. Since we knew that the opposite numbers on all even dice add up to 7. As 7 minus 5 equals 2, we knew that the third dice had to have 2 on top and had to be connected by 6 because, as the other connection was 1, 7 minus 1 equals 6. Then we got 2 to connect with two of the odd coloured dice and got 5 on top which is correct as 3 plus 2 equals 5.
What We Learnt That:
opposite sides of a dice add up to 7
