Regarding methodological approaches a literature search was conducted using the method of deductive approach, using indirect documentation as source of scientific research with a focus on teaching and learning of Statistics and Probability in Elementary Education jobs. The development of this research highlight possible methodological approaches to be developed by mathematics teachers in basic education which will help in the interpretation of the data daily from analysis of charts, graphical analysis of the position measurements, measures of dispersion and trend lines using as the tools of Information and Communication Technologies as having theoretical foundation contributions of David Ausubel's concept of meaningful learning.
