• Resumen

  • The idea of using a dice game to simulate radioactive decay is not new.1However, modern pedagogy encourages, if not requires, us to provide multiple representations and visualizations2for our students. The advantage of interactive engagement methods also has been made clear.3Here we describe a highly visual and interactive use of dice to develop student understanding of radioactive decay.
