Two familiar teaching patterns are put forward.4. Some principles on making courseware are put forward via the research on the integrating modern education technology and teaching of probability and statistics.Many aspects of the research on high school probability and statistics teaching should be further studied, such as teaching patterns that aim to cultivate cognitive and thinking ability of students and the teaching patterns based on modern education technology.
