人教版新课标小学数学五年级上册从不同角度观察两个物体说课稿2篇
自主探究法：教学中强调以学生为主体，强调学生参与知识的形成过程，始终做到为学生提供充足的学习素材、创设充分学习的空间、时间，让学生自主探究，体验知识形成的过程，培养主动探究的能力。观察法：例1观察物体教学中的观察是很好的学习方法。例如，教学例1时，观察目的明确。教师通过让学生观察长方体物体学会从不同角度观察物体的方法。这一安排不仅给学生独立思考的机会，而且教给学生观察的思维方法。四、说教学程序在提出问题中，引发学生思考；在自主探索中，激发学生创新思维；在展示交流中，感受学生的个性；在总结陈述中，体验成功的乐趣；在联想记忆中进一步发挥学生的创造才能。在设计这节课时，我在尊重教材的基础上，力求体现新课标的新理念、新思想，导学案中设计了以下几个教学环节：

（三）实践性数学是一种工具，一种将自然、社会运动现象法则化、简约化的工具。数学学习的最重要的成果就是学会建立数学模型，用以解决实际问题。因此，在这节课中，大量地创设条件，让学生把课堂中所学的知识和方法应用于生活实际之中，“学以致用”，让学生切实感受到生活中处处有数学。如上课伊始的猜冰箱，课中观察玩具、用品，给熊猫照相等，都采用了贴近学生生活的材料，旨在联系生活，开阔视野，同时延伸学习，使学生能从看到的物体的某一个面，联想到整个物体的形状，培养其观察立体实物的能力，建立初步的空间观念，发展形象思维。本课的所有教学环节都注重借助学生生活中常见的事物为知识载体，意在让学生感悟到“数学就在我们身边，生活离不开数学”。二、需进一步探究的问题“观察物体”的内容主要是对简单物体正面、侧面、上面形状的观察，因此本节课选择了大量生活中的实物让学生观察，旨在培养学生的空间观念。

教师：不同的时代造就了不同风格和不同精神内容的诗词，请同学们回顾必修一和必修二两宋中央集权的加强和经济的发展状况。学生：回忆回答。教师：请同学们结合时代背景和词的特点理解词为什么能够成为宋代文学的主流形式和标志？学生：两宋时经济重心转移到了南方，商业发展打破了时间和空间的限制，城市繁荣，市民数量不断增加。词的句子长短不齐，便于抒发感情，并且能够歌唱，更能适应市井生活的需要。于是，词成为宋代文学的主流形式和标志。教师：宋代文人地位提高，宋词就是一个个时代的画卷：大宋的悲欢离合都写在了里面。除了词之外，宋代民间还兴起了一种新的诗歌形式，即散曲。学生：回答散曲的发展阶段及特点、元曲的含义、特点。教师：在中国古代诗歌辉煌发展的同时，也产生了供人们闲来无事消遣的小说。

For I have arranged them to search more information about the gravity before this class, Students have beenfamiliar with the topic and will not be afraid about this abstract conception, which is helpful for their listening.Step 3 While-listeningIn this step, students will be required to listen the material for three times. The first and listening is extensive listening and the second and third listening is intensive listening.

Then I would ask them to think of a funny English or Chinese and tell it to partners. While telling stories, they can use expressions and some acting to help make the story funny. 5 minutes would be given to do this.Those stories they told there will be the material for their writing. Soletting them tell it at first is helpful. And they can make a difference between telling a funny story and writing it down. Generally speaking, it is difficult forstudents to write well because they don’t know what to write and how to write. Asking them to tell their own stories at first can help them come up with what to write.After their telling, I would invite someone to share his/her story with all of us and I would write it down on the blackboard.This example story would be used as a sample to illustrate the format of funny story. Different from a story from teacher or textbook, a story from students can obviously become a interesting material to draw students’ attention.Then I would ask the whole class to put this story into several parts. It might be a little bit difficult for them. So I would ask them to find out whether all the sentences are necessary. After delete some sentences, there are 6 sentences left behind. Then they can easily put them into three parts.

So I mainly usetask-based teaching method in this part and the task for students was divided into several stages. With the separated difficult level, students can find there are usually three parts in writing. They can also learn to write without the unnecessary parts in the process of analyzing. And then I wouldn’t rush to tell them the right terms to them directly. Instead, I would ask them to name them by their own. A confused mind is better for acquiring knowledge.While-writing:Then I would give students 7 minutes to write down this story, without other requirements.With all the preparations in pre-writing, students’ difficulties were cleared. So it would be much easier for them to write down the story within 7 minutes. There are no other requirements because students’ first writing is actually a drafting. It would be revise and edit several times later. Writing, as a skill
