我们知道数列是一种特殊的函数，在函数的研究中，我们在理解了函数的一般概念，了解了函数变化规律的研究内容（如单调性，奇偶性等）后，通过研究基本初等函数不仅加深了对函数的理解，而且掌握了幂函数，指数函数，对数函数，三角函数等非常有用的函数模型。类似地，在了解了数列的一般概念后，我们要研究一些具有特殊变化规律的数列，建立它们的通项公式和前n项和公式，并应用它们解决实际问题和数学问题，从中感受数学模型的现实意义与应用，下面，我们从一类取值规律比较简单的数列入手。新知探究1.北京天坛圜丘坛，的地面有十板布置，最中间是圆形的天心石，围绕天心石的是9圈扇环形的石板，从内到外各圈的示板数依次为9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81 ①2.S，M，L，XL，XXL，XXXL型号的女装上对应的尺码分别是38,40,42,44,46,48 ②3.测量某地垂直地面方向上海拔500米以下的大气温度，得到从距离地面20米起每升高100米处的大气温度（单位℃）依次为25,24,23,22,21 ③
人教版高中数学选择性必修二等差数列的概念（2）教学设计
二、典例解析例3.某公司购置了一台价值为220万元的设备，随着设备在使用过程中老化，其价值会逐年减少.经验表明，每经过一年其价值会减少d(d为正常数）万元.已知这台设备的使用年限为10年，超过10年 ，它的价值将低于购进价值的5%，设备将报废.请确定d的范围.分析：该设备使用n年后的价值构成数列{an}，由题意可知，an＝an－1－d (n≥2). 即：an－an－1＝－d.所以{an}为公差为－d的等差数列.10年之内（含10年），该设备的价值不小于（220×5%=）11万元；10年后，该设备的价值需小于11万元．利用{an}的通项公式列不等式求解．解：设使用n年后，这台设备的价值为an万元，则可得数列{an}．由已知条件，得an＝an－1－d（n≥2）．所以数列{an}是一个公差为－d的等差数列.因为a1＝220－d，所以an＝220－d＋(n－1)(－d)＝220－nd. 由题意，得a10≥11，a11＜11. 即：{█("220－10d≥11" @"220－11d＜11" )┤解得19<d≤20.9所以，d的求值范围为19<d≤20.9

一、 问题导学前面两节所讨论的变量,如人的身高、树的胸径、树的高度、短跑100m世界纪录和创纪录的时间等,都是数值变量,数值变量的取值为实数.其大小和运算都有实际含义.在现实生活中,人们经常需要回答一定范围内的两种现象或性质之间是否存在关联性或相互影响的问题.例如,就读不同学校是否对学生的成绩有影响,不同班级学生用于体育锻炼的时间是否有差别,吸烟是否会增加患肺癌的风险,等等,本节将要学习的独立性检验方法为我们提供了解决这类问题的方案。在讨论上述问题时,为了表述方便,我们经常会使用一种特殊的随机变量,以区别不同的现象或性质,这类随机变量称为分类变量.分类变量的取值可以用实数表示,例如,学生所在的班级可以用1,2,3等表示,男性、女性可以用1,0表示,等等.在很多时候,这些数值只作为编号使用,并没有通常的大小和运算意义,本节我们主要讨论取值于{0,1}的分类变量的关联性问题.

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:● …horse 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.

新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations-Listening &Speaking＆Talking教学设计
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.
