Abstract:
The contents of“Statistics and Probability” of high school mathematics textbooks, published by the People’s
Education Press, and the textbook of“Japan’s Shuyan edition” are chosen as the research subjects and a comparative study was conducted to compare the number, breadth and processing of knowledge points. It is found: (1)In the number of knowledge points, Chinese textbooks surpass the Japanese ones. (2)From the textbook content, the two textbooks focus more on proba- bility than on statistics. (3) in the handling of knowledge points, the Chinese textbooks pursue more of the rigidity of the defi- nition, while the Japanese textbooks put more emphasis on the internal links of the mathematics knowledge, highlighting the integrated whole of mathematics.
