The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of learning and instruction on critical thinking are included in the statistical literacy lessons. For this purpose, this study analyzed New Zealands' statistical literacy unit, Evaluate Statistically Based Reports (ESBR). As a result of the analysis of the teaching materials used in the class and the utterances in the class, it was considered that ESBR has various statistics contents in order to interpret the report from multiple perspectives. It was also considered that the learning and instruction in judging the validity and the reliability of statistical information and claims drawing from data and survey results in reports are involved in the "non-sampling error" and "observational and experimental research" of the ESBR, and these learning and instruction include critical thinking in "multifaceted examination and evaluation" and "judgment based on solid evidence, context, and value".
