Ser. C, Educ. Prim. Sch. 12, No. 1, 31-38 (2009).} \itemab Summary: This paper aims to develop a program which cultivates statistical ability for elementary students. For this purpose, I examined the relationship between mathematical thinking and statistical thinking. I developed statistical programs including classification, discussion of data, generating statistical problem and project program. As result, this study suggests implications for further elementary statistical education. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{K12} \itemut{primary education; descriptive statistics; mathematical thinking; statistical developing programme; statistical inference; statistical literacy; stochastic thinking; teacher role} \itemli{} \end
