Several professors believe an electronic spreadsheet provides a better educational environment to teach statistics at an elementary level. An electronic spreadsheet may be an enabling tool to the student, allowing them to partition calculations in order to understand statistical concepts. This paper aims to present an electronic spreadsheet’s use overview, particularly, the Microsoft Excel® electronic spreadsheet in Statistics teaching, by a set of papers which deal with the stated theme, as well as the possibility of using electronic spreadsheet to simulation employing images. The results of the carried out survey evidence diverse possibilities to the development of activities in Statistics teaching’s field, from the simplest ones, by using graphics and synthetic measurements, to the use of experiments and modeling. There is no common sense about the electronic spreadsheet’s use to Statistics teaching and criticism is usual, however, several applications and activities, in particular, the ease to develop simulations, may contribute to the teaching-learning process.
