北師大版初中數(shù)學八年級下冊認識分式說課稿
回顧整節(jié)課的設計，我主要著力于以下三個方面：1.關于教材處理：認真處理教材，目的只有一個——為我的學生盡可能多地提供參與活動的機會，在本節(jié)課中主要體現(xiàn)在以下幾點：（1）通過“合成代數(shù)式”、“賦予分式實際意義”兩個活動，激發(fā)興趣，吸引學生參與活動；（2）通過“互舉例子”、“填表探究”兩個活動，鼓勵學生主動參與活動；（3）通過“應用新知”這個環(huán)節(jié)，促進學生參與活動。2.關于教與學方法的選擇：我在設計中始終關注：如何精心組織活動，讓學生在豐富的活動中探索、交流與創(chuàng)新，因此我選擇了“引導——發(fā)現(xiàn)教學法”，具體做法如下： （1）用數(shù)、式通性的思想，類比分數(shù)，引導學生獨立思考、小組協(xié)作，完成對分式概念及意義的自主建構，突出數(shù)學合情推理能力的養(yǎng)成；（2）加強應用性，通過“應用新知”、“深化拓展”兩個環(huán)節(jié)，密切分式與現(xiàn)實生活及其他學科的聯(lián)系，發(fā)展數(shù)學應用意識，突出分式的模型思想。
北師大版初中數(shù)學八年級下冊提公因式法說課稿
設計目的：通過學生的反饋練習，使教師能全面了解學生對公因式概念的理解是否到位，提取公因式的方法與步驟是否掌握，以便教師能及時地進行查缺補漏．但依然有部分同學會出現(xiàn)問題，如對首項出現(xiàn)負號時不能正確處理，此時，需要老師進一步引導．第四環(huán)節(jié) 課堂小結從今天的課程中，你學到了哪些知識？你認為提公因式法與單項式乘多項式有什么關系？怎樣用提公因式法分解因式？設計目的：通過學生的回顧與反思，強化學生對確定公因式的方法及提公因式法的步驟的理解，進一步清楚地了解提公因式法與單項式乘多項式的互逆關系，加深對類比的數(shù)學思想的理解。第五環(huán)節(jié) 當堂檢測把下列各式分解因式（1）2x2-4x (2)8m2n+2mn(3)-4a3b3+6a2b-2ab (4)2n2-mn-n＊(5)3an+1-2anc-7an+2設計目的：檢驗學生的目標達成情況，其中第五小題供學有余力的學生選作。第六環(huán)節(jié) 課后反思教學反思

五、說課件設計及板書隨著教育現(xiàn)代化的發(fā)展，多媒體課件在課堂中輔助教師授課，幫助學生練習，已成為非常重要的教學輔助工具之一。在本節(jié)課的授課過程中，本人也使用了多媒體教學課件。課件在設計上遵循實用性原則、輔助性原則、創(chuàng)新性原則，緊緊圍繞教學目標，服務于課堂教學，設計科學合理，制作精美細致；課件的有效使用很好地優(yōu)化了課堂，極大地擴充了容量，有力地突出了重點，輕松地化解了難點；使學生學習興趣濃郁，使教學效率大大提高；特別是在演示多邊形對應角相等的設計，使這一教學環(huán)節(jié)變得更直觀、更高效、更方便，讓學生輕松地進行探究，很好地保護了學生的學習熱情，方便了教師的策略實現(xiàn)。在授課過程中，我又不是完全依賴于多媒體課件，而成了課件反映員；我充分發(fā)揮教師的主導作用，合理地利用黑板板書有關內(nèi)容，靈活動配合多媒體課件為學生呈現(xiàn)有關知識點，以彌補課件的不足。
北師大版初中數(shù)學九年級下冊何時獲得最大利潤說課稿
(1)寫出平均每天銷售(y)箱與每箱售價x(元)之間的函數(shù)關系式．(注明范圍)(2)求出商場平均每天銷售這種牛奶的利潤W(元)與每箱牛奶的售價x(元)之間的二次函數(shù)關系式(每箱的利潤＝售價－進價)．(3)求出(2)中二次函數(shù)圖象的頂點坐標，并求當x＝40，70時W的值．在坐標系中畫出函數(shù)圖象的草圖．(4)由函數(shù)圖象可以看出，當牛奶售價為多少時，平均每天的利潤最大？最大利潤為多少？解：(1)當40≤x≤50時，則降價(50－x)元，則可多售出3(50－x)，所以y＝90＋3(50－x)＝－3x＋240．當50＜x≤70時，則升高(x－50)元，則可少售3(x－50)元，所以y＝90－3(x－50)＝－3x＋240．因此，當40≤x≤70時，y＝－3x＋240．(2)當每箱售價為x元時，每箱利潤為(x－40)元，平均每天的利潤為W＝(240－3x)(x－40)＝－3x2＋360x－9600．
北師大版初中數(shù)學九年級上冊測量旗桿的高度說課稿
在解決問題的過程中，學生使用到了生活中常見的工具——標桿、鏡子等，這些小工具搖身一變就成了學生學習用的學具。使學生感覺到利用身邊的工具完全可以達到解決問題的目的。八、本節(jié)得失本節(jié)課意在更好地讓學生在實際操作中掌握相似三角形的判定與性質。這節(jié)課我感覺成功之處在于：1、立足于問題情境的創(chuàng)設。在課堂教學中創(chuàng)設良好的學習情境，充分激發(fā)學生求學熱情。當學生的學習投入到教師創(chuàng)設的學習情境中，就會形成主動尋求知識的內(nèi)在動力。學生在這種學習情境中主動學習到知識，比講授給他們的要豐富得多，而且更能激發(fā)他們的學習興趣。2、注意培養(yǎng)學生的問題意識。問題解決后，教師應讓學生從解決的問題出發(fā)，通過對題目的拓展，引導學生用新的思維去再次解決新問題，這樣不僅讓學生掌握了更多的知識，還能讓學生的思維得到升華。3、培養(yǎng)學生自主探索、合作交流的學習方法和習慣。
北師大版初中數(shù)學九年級下冊測量物體的高度說課稿
（三）解釋、應用和發(fā)展問題4:如果測量一座小山的高度,小山腳下還有一條河,怎么辦? (教師巡視課堂，友情幫助 ,讓學生參照書本99頁,用測角儀測量塔高的方法.這個物體的底部不能到達。)（1）請你設計一個測量小山高度的方法：要求寫出測量步驟和必須的測量數(shù)據(jù)（用字母表示），并畫出測量平面圖形；（2）用你測量的數(shù)據(jù)（用字母表示），寫出計算小山高度的方法。過程： （1） 學生觀察、思考、建模、自行解決(3） 學生間討論交流后,教師展示部分學生的解答過程（重點關注：1.學生能否發(fā)現(xiàn)解決問題的途徑；學生在引導下，能否借助方程或方程組來解決問題；學生的自學能力.2.關注學生克服困難的勇氣和堅強的意志力。3.繼續(xù)關注學生中出現(xiàn)的典型錯誤。）（設計意圖: 讓學生進一步熟悉如何將實際問題轉化成數(shù)學模型，并能用解直角三角形的知識解決簡單的實際問題，發(fā)展學生的應用意識和應用能力。
北師大版初中數(shù)學九年級上冊相似三角形的判定說課稿
(四)提高應用已知：在△ABC中,已知∠ACB=90°,CD⊥AB于D，請找出圖中的相似三角形，并說明理由。設計意圖：訓練學生靈活運用知識的能力(五)小結反思1.、相似三角形的判定方法一：如果一個三角形的兩個角分別與另一個三角形的兩個角對應相等，那么這兩個三角形相似. 2、在找對應角相等時要十分重視隱含條件,如公共角、對頂角、直角等. 3、掌握由平行線構造的兩類相似圖形：一類是A字型，另一類是X型. （回顧定理，強調(diào)兩個基本圖形，培養(yǎng)學生養(yǎng)成認真觀察，注意尋找圖形中的隱含信息的意識） 4、 常用的找對應角的方法：①已知角相等;②已知角度計算得出相等的對應角;③公共角;④對頂角;⑤同角的余(補)角相等.
北師大版初中數(shù)學九年級上冊消息的傳播說課稿
準備200張卡片，在上面分別寫上1，2，3，…,200，將卡片裝入布袋里.第一次從布袋中盲目地取出一張，把號碼記下,這個號碼就算是消息的發(fā)布者，暫時不放回。第二次，從布袋中盲目取出三張，記下號碼，這算是第一批聽到消息的三個人，留一張暫時不放回(這張卡片代表下一次傳播消息的人)，另兩張放回。把第一張卡片放回，然后第三次從布袋中盲目取三張卡片，記下號碼.這算是第二批聽到消息的三個人.留一張暫時不放回，其余兩張放回.把第二次摸出的并暫時留下的一張卡片收回，然后第四次從布袋中摸……看一下，15次后，有沒有被重復摸出的?上述消息傳播問題是很有實用價值的，比如，在醫(yī)療事業(yè)中，必須十分注意疾病的重復感染問題，因為傳染病的傳播就像消息傳播一樣，既然重復聽到消息的可能性是很大的，當然重復感染的可能性也是很大的。
北師大版初中數(shù)學九年級下冊二次函數(shù)的圖像與性質說課稿
教學媒體設計充分利用多媒體教學，將powerpoint、《幾何畫板》兩種軟件結合起來制作上課課件。制作的課件，不僅課堂所授容量大，而且，利用作二次函數(shù)圖像的動畫性，更加形象的反映出作圖的過程，增加數(shù)學的美感，激發(fā)學生作圖的興趣。教學評價設計本節(jié)課，我合理、充分利用了多媒體教學的手段，利用powerpoint，《幾何畫板》這兩種軟件制作了課件，特別是《幾何畫板》軟件的應用，畫出了標準、動畫形式的二次函數(shù)的圖像，讓抽象思維不強的學生，更加形象的結合圖形，分析說出二次函數(shù)y=ax2的有關性質，充分體現(xiàn)了“數(shù)形結合”的數(shù)學思想。為了突出重點，攻破難點，我要求學生“先觀察后思考”、“先做后說”、“先討論后總結”，“師生共做”充分體現(xiàn)了教學過程中以學生為主體，老師起主導作用的教學原則。本節(jié)課，讓學生有觀察，有思考，有討論，有練習，充分調(diào)動了學生的學習興趣，從而為高效率、高質量地上好這一堂課作好了充分的準備。

新人教版高中英語必修3Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations-Listening &Speaking＆Talking教學設計
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.

Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …h(huán)orse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.

The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3.

Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角）left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.
