Abstract: 

Statistics is not at present taught to French 11 to 15 year olds. Syllabuses do not require it and text books offer very few activities or exercises bearing on statistics. Very simple statistical sequences may be found in some books, in the sections on proportionality, percentages or reading graphs. This paper presents research supporting the development of the teaching of statistics in secondary schools.
