Mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones are rapidly replacing laptops and notebooks as the primary student e-learning device. This chapter discusses the needs of a Statistics app user and how these differ from the needs of users of other Mathematics apps, and then reviews some the mobile apps currently available which enable a user to either learn Statistics or to carry out the sorts of summaries and analyses encountered in an undergraduate Statistics course. Implications of these apps for both teaching and learning are discussed.

Teaching statistics in the early years requires that teachers at this school level develop skills to analyze small collections of data. Given a collection of quantitative data (12 observations), in this paper we looked at how students and prospective primary school teachers select and make appropriate graphs and identify and determine statistical measures suitable for summarizing the data, including the interpretation of the third quartile. The study involved 50 students who were attending the 2nd year of the Basic Education Bachelor’s program at a university in northern Portugal. The collected data correspond to the answers given by the students in a formal examination in a Probability and Statistics course. An analysis of the answers showed that the students had difficulties in both the selection and application of statistical methods, which were more pronounced when they had to identify the appropriate graphs to represent the data and to determine the quartiles and to interpret the third quartile, and less pronounced in the case of determining other statistical measures.
