Download Free Game of Pig Simulation Software!
The Game of Pig is one of the curriculum units in the four-year Interactive Mathematics
Program® (IMP®). Probability, expected value, and the use of
strategies are three of the important themes in the Year 1 unit.
We are making software available to make it easier for students and teachers to simulate the unit's
game called Pig as a probability experiment. The software was developed by DeeAnne Doseman-Flaws of
Rosemead High School in Rosemead, California, who created the IBM® compatible version. William
Finzer, Educational Technology Director at Key Curriculum Press® created the Macintosh®
version. We hope you will enjoy it!

the other little piggy is for IBM compatibles.) Once the software has been downloaded, you'll find it
on your hard disk where your Web browser puts downloaded files.
