空间向量基本定理教学设计人教A版高中数学选择性必修第一册
反思感悟用基底表示空间向量的解题策略1.空间中,任一向量都可以用一个基底表示,且只要基底确定,则表示形式是唯一的.2.用基底表示空间向量时,一般要结合图形,运用向量加法、减法的平行四边形法则、三角形法则,以及数乘向量的运算法则,逐步向基向量过渡,直至全部用基向量表示.3.在空间几何体中选择基底时,通常选取公共起点最集中的向量或关系最明确的向量作为基底,例如,在正方体、长方体、平行六面体、四面体中,一般选用从同一顶点出发的三条棱所对应的向量作为基底.例2.在棱长为2的正方体ABCD-A1B1C1D1中,E,F分别是DD1,BD的中点,点G在棱CD上,且CG=1/3 CD(1)证明:EF⊥B1C;(2)求EF与C1G所成角的余弦值.思路分析选择一个空间基底,将(EF) ?,(B_1 C) ?,(C_1 G) ?用基向量表示.(1)证明(EF) ?·(B_1 C) ?=0即可;(2)求(EF) ?与(C_1 G) ?夹角的余弦值即可.(1)证明:设(DA) ?=i,(DC) ?=j,(DD_1 ) ?=k,则{i,j,k}构成空间的一个正交基底.
点到直线的距离公式教学设计人教A版高中数学选择性必修第一册
4.已知△ABC三个顶点坐标A(－1,3)，B(－3,0)，C(1,2)，求△ABC的面积S.【解析】由直线方程的两点式得直线BC的方程为 ＝ ，即x－2y＋3＝0，由两点间距离公式得|BC|＝ ，点A到BC的距离为d，即为BC边上的高，d＝ ，所以S＝ |BC|·d＝ ×2 × ＝4，即△ABC的面积为4.5.已知直线l经过点P(0,2),且A(1,1),B(-3,1)两点到直线l的距离相等,求直线l的方程.解:(方法一)∵点A(1,1)与B(-3,1)到y轴的距离不相等,∴直线l的斜率存在,设为k.又直线l在y轴上的截距为2,则直线l的方程为y=kx+2,即kx-y+2=0.由点A(1,1)与B(-3,1)到直线l的距离相等,∴直线l的方程是y=2或x-y+2=0.得("|" k"-" 1+2"|" )/√(k^2+1)=("|-" 3k"-" 1+2"|" )/√(k^2+1),解得k=0或k=1.(方法二)当直线l过线段AB的中点时,A,B两点到直线l的距离相等.∵AB的中点是(-1,1),又直线l过点P(0,2),∴直线l的方程是x-y+2=0.当直线l∥AB时,A,B两点到直线l的距离相等.∵直线AB的斜率为0,∴直线l的斜率为0,∴直线l的方程为y=2.综上所述,满足条件的直线l的方程是x-y+2=0或y=2.
倾斜角与斜率教学设计人教A版高中数学选择性必修第一册
(2)l的倾斜角为90°,即l平行于y轴,所以m+1=2m,得m=1.延伸探究1 本例条件不变,试求直线l的倾斜角为锐角时实数m的取值范围.解:由题意知(m"-" 1"-" 1)/(m+1"-" 2m)>0,解得1<m<2.延伸探究2 若将本例中的“N(2m,1)”改为“N(3m,2m)”,其他条件不变,结果如何?解:(1)由题意知(m"-" 1"-" 2m)/(m+1"-" 3m)=1,解得m=2.(2)由题意知m+1=3m,解得m=1/2.直线斜率的计算方法(1)判断两点的横坐标是否相等,若相等,则直线的斜率不存在.(2)若两点的横坐标不相等,则可以用斜率公式k=(y_2 "-" y_1)/(x_2 "-" x_1 )(其中x1≠x2)进行计算.金题典例 光线从点A(2,1)射到y轴上的点Q,经y轴反射后过点B(4,3),试求点Q的坐标及入射光线的斜率.解:(方法1)设Q(0,y),则由题意得kQA=-kQB.∵kQA=(1"-" y)/2,kQB=(3"-" y)/4,∴(1"-" y)/2=-(3"-" y)/4.解得y=5/3,即点Q的坐标为 0,5/3 ,∴k入=kQA=(1"-" y)/2=-1/3.(方法2)设Q(0,y),如图,点B(4,3)关于y轴的对称点为B'(-4,3), kAB'=(1"-" 3)/(2+4)=-1/3,由题意得,A、Q、B'三点共线.从而入射光线的斜率为kAQ=kAB'=-1/3.所以,有(1"-" y)/2=(1"-" 3)/(2+4),解得y=5/3,点Q的坐标为(0,5/3).

人教版高中数学选择性必修二变化率问题教学设计
导语在必修第一册中，我们研究了函数的单调性，并利用函数单调性等知识，定性的研究了一次函数、指数函数、对数函数增长速度的差异，知道“对数增长” 是越来越慢的，“指数爆炸” 比“直线上升” 快得多，进一步的能否精确定量的刻画变化速度的快慢呢，下面我们就来研究这个问题。新知探究问题1 高台跳水运动员的速度高台跳水运动中，运动员在运动过程中的重心相对于水面的高度h(单位：m)与起跳后的时间t(单位：s)存在函数关系h(t)＝－4.9t2＋4.8t＋11.如何描述用运动员从起跳到入水的过程中运动的快慢程度呢？直觉告诉我们，运动员从起跳到入水的过程中，在上升阶段运动的越来越慢，在下降阶段运动的越来越快，我们可以把整个运动时间段分成许多小段，用运动员在每段时间内的平均速度v ?近似的描述它的运动状态。
人教版高中数学选修3成对数据的相关关系教学设计
由样本相关系数??≈0.97,可以推断脂肪含量和年龄这两个变量正线性相关，且相关程度很强。脂肪含量与年龄变化趋势相同.归纳总结1．线性相关系数是从数值上来判断变量间的线性相关程度，是定量的方法．与散点图相比较，线性相关系数要精细得多，需要注意的是线性相关系数r的绝对值小，只是说明线性相关程度低，但不一定不相关，可能是非线性相关．2．利用相关系数r来检验线性相关显著性水平时，通常与0.75作比较，若|r|>0.75，则线性相关较为显著，否则不显著．例2. 有人收集了某城市居民年收入(所有居民在一年内收入的总和)与A商品销售额的10年数据,如表所示.画出散点图，判断成对样本数据是否线性相关，并通过样本相关系数推断居民年收入与A商品销售额的相关程度和变化趋势的异同.
人教版高中数学选择性必修二等比数列的概念 (2) 教学设计
二、典例解析例4. 用 10 000元购买某个理财产品一年.（1）若以月利率0.400%的复利计息，12个月能获得多少利息（精确到1元）？（2）若以季度复利计息，存4个季度，则当每季度利率为多少时，按季结算的利息不少于按月结算的利息（精确到10^(-5)）？分析：复利是指把前一期的利息与本金之和算作本金，再计算下一期的利息.所以若原始本金为a元，每期的利率为r ，则从第一期开始，各期的本利和a , a(1+r)，a(1+r)^2…构成等比数列.解：（1）设这笔钱存 n 个月以后的本利和组成一个数列{a_n }，则{a_n }是等比数列，首项a_1=10^4 (1+0.400%)，公比 q=1+0.400%，所以a_12=a_1 q^11 〖=10〗^4 (1+0.400%)^12≈10 490.7.所以，12个月后的利息为10 490.7-10^4≈491（元）.解：（2）设季度利率为 r ，这笔钱存 n 个季度以后的本利和组成一个数列{b_n }，则{b_n }也是一个等比数列，首项 b_1=10^4 (1+r)，公比为1+r，于是 b_4=10^4 (1+r)^4.
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

对于离散型随机变量，可以由它的概率分布列确定与该随机变量相关事件的概率。但在实际问题中，有时我们更感兴趣的是随机变量的某些数字特征。例如，要了解某班同学在一次数学测验中的总体水平，很重要的是看平均分；要了解某班同学数学成绩是否“两极分化”则需要考察这个班数学成绩的方差。我们还常常希望直接通过数字来反映随机变量的某个方面的特征，最常用的有期望与方差.二、 探究新知探究1.甲乙两名射箭运动员射中目标靶的环数的分布列如下表所示：如何比较他们射箭水平的高低呢？环数X 7 8 9 10甲射中的概率 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4乙射中的概率 0.15 0.25 0.4 0.2类似两组数据的比较,首先比较击中的平均环数,如果平均环数相等，再看稳定性.假设甲射箭n次，射中7环、8环、9环和10环的频率分别为：甲n次射箭射中的平均环数当n足够大时，频率稳定于概率，所以x稳定于7×0.1+8×0.2+9×0.3+10×0.4=9.即甲射中平均环数的稳定值(理论平均值)为9,这个平均值的大小可以反映甲运动员的射箭水平.同理，乙射中环数的平均值为7×0.15+8×0.25+9×0.4+10×0.2=8.65.

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.

The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people with the need for personal responsibility.Step 8 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1. Does the writer give a short description of the story ?2. Does the description include the most important details of the story ?3. Does the writer give his or her opinion about the character or their actions ?4. Is the review well-organised ? 5. Does the writer use the -ing form as the adverbial correctly in the writing ?6. Are there any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors ?Step 9 HomeworkPut up your revised draft in the classroom or read it to your class.
