Abstract: 

I report on special features of a course on statistics and probabilities at my university, where future teachers of mathematics in primary school are instructed on en-active representations of statistical situations and on their analogue modelling. I also report on empirical work with future mathematics teachers of primary school in Baden W&uuml;rttemberg who have been instructed to introduce simple, en-active representations of statistical concepts in the classroom.
