Abstract: 

In this study we analyze the conceptions of future secondary school mathematics teachers on the teaching of statistics and their influence in classifying the problems in which graphical statistics play a role. For this purpose we present a case study of four students taking the course 'Introduction to the Teaching of Mathematics', who responded to different data collection instruments and were interviewed afterwards.
