摘要：DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14244/19827199775 In the present study, we describe a classroom teaching experience with a dice game to reinforce the learning of the concepts of mean and variance. The game is an original proposal and uses these two important concepts of Descriptive Statistics. We have also formulated some problems involving game situations. The solutions of these problems, obtained by the students, are intended to reinforce the mathematics concepts present in the definitions of mean and variance. Based on the reports of the students and teachers that applied the dice game, we believe that the activity contributed for the learning of the concepts of means and variance by the students. Therefore, we hope that the didactics sequence presented herein can help high school teachers in their work with these concepts. Keywords: Teaching statistics, Games, Problem solving.
