This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes to break the curricular gridlock which prevents little teaching of probability and statistics in secondary school mathematics courses by developing new course materials and state- of-the-art computer software based on current understanding of students' conceptions of probability and statistics. The computer learning environment, provisionally named StochasticsLab, integrates simulation, data gathering, data display, exploratory data analysis, and statistical inferencing capabilities. Emphasis will be on illuminating the inner workings of statistical and probabilistic processes and promoting investigation and exploration by allowing objects such as spinners, graphs, and statistical measurement tools to be linked together by students and teachers to create dynamic micro- worlds. Tightly focused yet widely applicable two-week modules are proposed that could be integrated into other courses in the high school curriculum or combined into a semester course. This project has educational merit and potential for widespread impact on education.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段的项目提出，通过开发新的课程材料和最先进的计算机软件，根据目前对学生概率和统计概念的理解，打破阻碍中学数学课程中概率和统计教学的课程僵局。计算机学习环境，暂时命名为StochasticsLab，集成了模拟、数据收集、数据显示、探索性数据分析和统计推理能力。重点将是阐明统计和概率过程的内部工作原理，并通过允许学生和教师将诸如旋转器、图形和统计测量工具等对象联系在一起来创建动态的微观世界，从而促进调查和探索。我们建议将重点紧密且广泛适用的两周模块整合到高中课程的其他课程中，或合并到一个学期的课程中。该项目具有教育价值，并有可能对教育产生广泛影响。
