Abstract
This article discusses conceptions regarding the teaching and learning of Probability and Statistics, emphasizing their relevance in shaping critical citizens capable of interpreting data in everyday life. It highlights that the teaching of these topics, included in the Brazilian curriculum through the National Curricular Parameters in 1997, still faces significant challenges, such as difficulties in understanding Mathematics as a language and a limited focus on exam preparation. This work aims to promote statistical literacy through pedagogical activities that involve reading, interpreting, and critically analyzing data in various formats. Similarly, solving realworld problems is recommended to stimulate creative strategies and reflections on the impacts of data-driven decisions. Moreover, the teacher’s role is central, requiring the integration of reading, writing, and argumentation practices in teaching. It is concluded that the critical and contextualized integration of Probability and Statistics into basic education is essential to prepare students to autonomously engage with statistical language and its social implications.
