The aim of this work was to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge
about the statistics, stimulating curiosity, interest and creativity of the student. The
activities were carried out in a public school in the town of Araguaina-TO. In this way
he pointed out this research, the importance of the student be able to analyze
information, read statistical data, build charts and graphs. In this sense, the National
Curricular Parameters (PCN ́s), Brazil (1997), justify the teaching of statistics,
orienting to the need of the individual to understand the information conveyed, learn
to make decisions and make predictions that influence your personal life and in the
community. Thus, the methodology used for this study was a qualitative and
quantitative-oriented approach of descriptive and explanatory nature, based on field
research carried out in the Centre of White Castle high school, where two workshops
were developed; a using ruler and compass and another in the computer lab of the
school, using the Excel Software for building worksheets and charts of statistical data
searched. It was used also as instruments: questionnaire, testimonials and pictures
for collection and documentation of information and facts. The results obtained, it is
concluded that the math teachers, still do not have the habit of driving students to the
computer lab this school to make statistics activities and/or mathematics, in this
interactive space for teaching and learning. So, the students carry out the proposed
activities in the workshops, became able to do a spreadsheet, build a graph and
interpret statistical data.
