Abstract
In the last years, the Statistics Education investigation field has driven curricular reforms, public policies and pedagogical practices in the Brazilian Basic Education classroom. In order to understand the impact and the comprehensiveness of the insertion of this field in the educational studies, this investigation sought to map the studies about Statistics Education in early childhood developed in Brazil, highlighting their themes, theoretical and methodological references and main results and conclusions. The work brings significant contributions to the understanding about the research advances, the recognition of a theoretical and methodological diversity of investigation, about privilege themes, as well as the gaps still to be investigated.
