ernest's friend rolls a six-sided number cube and lands on square 8. she asks ernest to guess
what number she rolled. he guesses that she rolled a 3. she says he's wrong.
ernest wonders if she could have rolled a number other than 3. use a mapping diagram to
guess what number she rolled.
analyze your classmate's conjecture
3 points: 1 point for each answer.
what conjecture is
being made?
what key details are
given in the conjecture?
to determine if the
conjecture is true,
i need to:
create a mapping diagram
when playing this game, the square you land on during the first turn depends on the number you
roll. you can write this as a function: square(number), or s(n). for example, if you roll a 2,
you end up on square 2 (when you land on 3 you move back a space). so s(2) = 2.
