Therefore, my "recommendation" is limited-it only represents the use (evaluation) effect of my children and me, and does not mean that everyone will have the same experience, so I try to write in detail for the reference of friends in need.
1, Draw inferences from others, this set of books by Shaanxi People's Education Publishing House can be said to be one of the most popular "entry-level" Olympic Mathematics textbooks at present.
My children used it in grade 1-3, of which I bought versions A, B and C in grade/kloc-0 and grade 2, and I only bought version C in grade 3.
I think this set of books can be used as the first choice if the subject only hopes that children can make up for the Olympic Mathematics when they have spare time! In itself, it is a set of relatively entry-level or enlightenment-level Olympic Mathematics textbooks, with comprehensive contents and not too difficult topics (but there is also a difficult topic), which is very suitable for the transition from textbooks to Olympic Mathematics.
But if your goal is to let your child reach the level of self-enrollment (if there is one in the local area), that is, to choose a school, it depends on the child's talent. If the talent is high, it may be good, but if the talent is average, it is obvious that only learning this set of books can't cope with the school selection exam and the independent enrollment exam. These are exams that are too difficult for the department.
No2, A Course in Olympic Mathematics, East China Normal University Press, do you remember the sentence "Experts say that only 5% of people are suitable for learning Olympic Mathematics"?
People who know or don't know the Olympiad (including the media) often use this sentence to persuade their parents-"Olympiad is risky, so be careful in your study"!
The earliest source of this statement is Xiong Bin, editor-in-chief of this book. This man is Daniel, just search online.
Anyway, this set of books is definitely a classic Olympic mathematics textbook. Each grade is also divided into three books: Olympic Mathematics course (textbook), Olympic Mathematics course learning manual (exercise) and Olympic Mathematics course ability test (special test), which my children used for three or four years. It is a new version at present. This version can scan the QR code next to the code topic to watch the example explanation.
It is a little difficult for most beginners to learn this book by themselves, but it is recommended if parents have good ability and children have a good foundation. After all, this book is very systematic and comprehensive, and many institutions without their own textbooks will choose this book as a textbook.
Third. A course of mathematical genius with clear mind. Ming Xin by Hubei Science and Technology Publishing House is a very famous brand in itself. I believe that people in many places (such as Wuhan) will be very familiar with and trust this brand. Liu Jia, the homework of this book, is also a great man. He once claimed that "70% of the top students in Wuhan were trained here, and the gold medal winners in mathematics, physics and chemistry for four consecutive years were trained in Mingxin." . We won't do textual research on this point. After all, the development of other institutions has indeed been faster in recent years.
Say too much, or look at this set of books.
This set of books can be said to be an extremely professional textbook, and different from other textbooks, there is a better design in this set of books, that is, the author interspersed with historical knowledge and figures related to his mathematical thoughts or concepts, as well as the development context of related mathematical thoughts.
So if you just want to teach yourself, this book can be considered. Here is another book, which I missed in my previous answer, because it is not a textbook, but a collection of contest questions. Here is another book, which I missed in my previous answer, because it is not a textbook, but a collection of contest questions. Here is another book, which I missed in my previous answer, because it is not a textbook, but a collection of contest questions.
It is put here because its author is also Liu Jia.
However, since the national examination was banned last year, there are naturally fewer real questions in many cups, which used to be one a year.
No4, Mathematics Textbook for Competition in Senior Four Schools, East China Normal University Press Senior Four itself is a very powerful educational institution. This textbook is really a textbook. My family bought a full set. Later, because of the high level of children, this set of books seemed too simple, and later it was given to others. This set of books is in color pages and is very suitable for beginners.
In terms of difficulty, I personally feel that it is lower than analogy, but if that's all, I don't recommend it particularly. If you have heard of a popular learning+APP-"Lele Classroom" (now called "daily exercise", you need to pay), then you can completely consider the combination of this textbook and APP.
No5, "Introduction to Mathematics in Senior Four Schools", this set of books published by East China Normal University is certainly familiar to some students who aim at competition, and it is also from Senior Four. This set of books has only been available since the third grade. Each lesson is divided into three different difficulty segments, from basic to improvement (which is already quite difficult) to extremely difficult, and the difficulty changes very obviously. It can be said that if our child can easily win the third module later, then this child will definitely win the third prize or even the second prize in the competition.
The problem with this set of books is that its positioning is not a "textbook" but a "problem set". Therefore, it can be bought for children to consolidate and improve their use, but it cannot be used as a teaching material.
Friendly reminder: If you are a freshman in Olympic Mathematics, it is not recommended to force your child to challenge the 4-star and 5-star topics (in this book), because your child may not understand the topics and waste too much time on these topics, unless you can explain them clearly to your child, it will be easier to hurt your self-confidence. So we can consider solving the problem of 1-3 stars first. Generally speaking, the difficulty of 3 stars can be achieved, so the "big questions" of the general exams in the class will be too problematic, unless the school exam itself is the Olympic Mathematics exam.
Special reminder is that each chapter of this book is divided into three modules with different difficulties. You can start with the basic chapters at first. Don't worry too much if you find that the difficulty of the children behind is not suitable for the time being. You can do it selectively or temporarily, and then do it when you review later. This will have a better effect. Generally speaking, if you can get all three-star questions, your child is absolutely full of strength in mathematics at school. 4 star difficulty can be tried hard. As for the problem of five stars, I personally think that if there is no competition goal, let it be.
No6, Learning and Thinking of Olympiad Series (there are too many books in his family, which I will introduce separately below), Learning and Thinking Cheats, Modern Education Press.
Great gateway of thinking innovation, East China University of Science and Technology Press.
The book "Learn and Think Cheats" is actually an upgraded version of the original "Training Course for Excellent Students of Olympic Mathematics in Primary Schools".
My children have made a series of excellent students, not because the old version is better, but because I bought them all at once, not by grade ... but I compared the contents of these two sets of books, and it is obvious that the cheats of the new version are indeed better and more rooted than the eugenics of the old version.
The difficulty of this set of books (that is, the new version of cheats) is more suitable for self-study, but I personally think that the fly in the ointment is that there are fewer exercises and the overall difficulty is not too high. Therefore, when I use it at home, it is basically used to "preview in advance". Because although the difficulty is a little lower, it is also a basic knowledge point after all.
The book Thinking Innovation is a bit "malicious".
In the past, the old version was called Enlightenment of Mathematical Thinking (1-2 grade) and Mathematical Thinking Training (3-6 grade). This set of books is the "white paper" that many people who used to learn Olympic Mathematics.
This is actually similar to the above-mentioned "Introduction to Mathematics in Senior Four Schools". They are all problem sets, and the topics are very difficult! Therefore, if you find that your child is very relaxed and complacent when doing inference, Olympic mathematics and other teaching materials, you can give him two sets of books, especially white paper.
It can be said that those children who have no pressure to do this set of books are basically going for the first prize in the cup. And I think this kind of children can focus on cultivating math learning in the future! Their ability can basically take the route of "self-enrollment".
We will finish a book this summer vacation, and we have learned several lessons so far.
No7, Teaching and Testing of Intensive Reading of Olympic Mathematics, Shanghai Science and Technology Education Press, is also an old textbook of Olympic Mathematics. It's just a pity that my children can't do it-they really can't.
Eighth place. The book "Olympic Mathematics in Renhua School" is out of print at present. You can search it online (photocopy version).
This set of books also has a set of supporting exercises, that is, the Training Guide of Olympic Mathematical Thinking in Renhua School.
I'm afraid there are not many people who can learn with this set of books. After all, the content of this set of books is a bit old, but it is better than the classics. I believe that many "experienced people" who have studied Olympic Mathematics will still be very touched by this set of books.
I send it here with the meaning of "paying tribute to the classics". Personally, if you don't plan to spend too much energy on the Olympic Mathematics, you don't have to read this set of books.
The above is a summary of the Olympic Mathematics books that I have been exposed to throughout the primary school stage (in fact, there are still some, but I don't recommend them because I feel bad).
Generally speaking, it covers the level from 0 foundation to beyond ordinary people.
If you really want to teach yourself, or as an after-school supplementary exercise for your child, you can choose according to your child's situation.
