Elementarisation is a legitimate didactical strategy, especially in a subject area such as inferential statistics, which is considered to be extremely difficult. Here one can also refer to Varga’s position on the didactics of mathematics and examine, which orientation results from it. For this purpose, Varga’s approach to mathematics didactics as a whole is summarised, which can best be characterised by the term complexity. Varga tries to make the complexity teachable by presenting suitable task systems and developing comprehensive handouts for guided-discovery learning. The core of the presentation is a system of tasks by Varga for inferential statistics for primary school, which Varga also supplements by comments on an experimental class for nine-year-olds (!). Varga introduces heuristically and playfully to the significance test and to p values. Finally, we discuss how to continue the learning paths from these heuristic considerations to the full field of inferential statistics. Classification: K10, K70, K50, D20. Keywords: Stochastic teaching, elementarisation, task systems, Statistical inference, Bayes inference, Varga’s approach.
