This article presents the partial results of a study which aimed to analyze the contributions of a methodological approach involving the resolution of everyday problems in the teaching of statistics to the development of critical and computational thinking in elementary school. The qualitative research was carried out in a state public school in Santa Maria, RS. Content involving tables, graphs and measures of central tendency was worked on using contextualized problem situations. The data was obtained from the students’ written records. Analysis of the results showed that the students developed skills and competences related to Critical and Computational Thinking, showing the application of statistical concepts in everyday contexts. Most of the problems created involved mean, mode and the organization and interpretation of data. Thus, it can be concluded that the approach of creating everyday problems proved to be effective in developing Critical and Computational Thinking.
