	We are used to the idea of transitivity, where we can ascribe an order to events. Efron’s dice are non-transitive and probability methods that the pupils are familiar with can be used to explore how to play a game using them. This provides a {{~~tag~~\|discussion}} topic for joint {{~~tag~~\|reasoning}} - {{~~tag~~\|whole class}} or in {{~~tag~~\|group work}}. Pupils can explore aspects of {{~~tag~~\|mathematical thinking}} particularly with relation to probability.		We are used to the idea of transitivity, where we can ascribe an order to events.
