《统计初步》是九年义务教育初级中学数学教学大纲规定的教学内容。本人在教学实践中发现有些教师对这段内容处理随意性太大。表现不讲、略讲,或只要求学生记几个公式等。经了解理由是:毕业、升学《统计初步》出不了几分的题……。对这一违背大纲的现象本人暂不想多论,拟就《统计初步》在初中数学教材中的地位和作用谈一点看 The “Preliminary Statistics” is the teaching content stipulated in the mathematics syllabus for junior high schools in the nine-year compulsory education. In my teaching practice, I found that some teachers deal with this content arbitrarily. Performance does not speak, speak slightly, or only require students to record a few formulas. After understanding the reason is: graduation, advanced “statistics preliminary” can not be a few questions .... I don’t want to discuss the phenomenon of contravening the outline for the time being. I’d like to talk about the status and role of “Preliminary Statistics” in junior middle school mathematics textbooks.
