Abstract	This article describes activities in which students deepen their relational understanding of the equals sign through exploring inequalities in a competitive dice game, built around the familiar fairy-tale "The Three Little Pigs" and "The Big Bad Wolf." The activity can be adapted to different abilities by choosing more or less challenging dice combinations. The two follow-up investigations, based on the story "Who Sank the Boat?," are intended to consolidate (Investigation 1), and further extend (Investigation 2), student understanding of the equivalence concept.
