A: The full name of primary school Olympic mathematics is "primary school Olympic mathematics" or "primary school mathematical Olympics". The name comes from "Mathematics is the gymnastics of thinking", which embodies the commonality between mathematics and the Olympic spirit: faster, higher and stronger. In fact, it should be called "primary school competition mathematics" more accurately. It embodies the ingenious thinking, flexibility and mathematical aesthetics in mathematics.
▊ The second question: What are the benefits for children to learn Olympic Mathematics?
A: Olympiad is a stage for children who are interested in it, just like the stage we set for children who are interested in English, painting, music and sports, so that they can enjoy their childhood and life freely and happily.
1. The Olympiad includes more than 20 ways of thinking, such as divergent thinking, convergent thinking, exchange thinking, reverse thinking, logical thinking, spatial thinking and three-dimensional thinking. As we all know, thinking ability is the core of children's intelligence. If a child is fully trained in primary school, what is more important than this? Olympic Mathematics is a tool to improve children's IQ quickly, effectively and comprehensively. Learning Olympic Mathematics plays an important role in opening up new ideas. Students who learn olympiad well will do better in the whole science, because mathematics is the foundation of science, and physical chemistry needs mathematics as the foundation. It is for this reason that key middle schools like to recruit students with better Olympic mathematics.
Secondly, the Olympic math problem is basically better than the knowledge in the book. When children encounter difficulties in doing problems and try to overcome them, that kind of heartfelt joy is sweeter than eating ten pounds of candied dates. In learning and competition, there are failures and successes, so that children can understand from an early age: how can they see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? In short: Olympiad Mathematics has taught children to face setbacks, overcome difficulties, learn the spirit of never giving up and establish good self-confidence. It can be said that it can not only improve children's IQ but also develop children's EQ.
▊ Three questions: When should children start learning Olympic mathematics?
A: Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to start from the third grade of primary school, because it is too early for children's understanding ability is limited, and at this time, the mathematical foundation has not been laid well, so it is difficult for children to understand the Olympic Mathematics and it is easy to encounter difficulties. If children's interest is hit by this, they are afraid of difficulties and are tired of learning.
Before children learn Olympic Mathematics, parents can subtly cultivate their children's interest and ability in mathematics from other aspects. Observation ability is the beginning of mathematics learning, for example, when taking children to the streets, inspire them to know the numbers on the house number and tell them how many digits it is; For example, there is also mathematics in toys, through which children can identify various shapes such as triangles and rectangles. In other words, it is important to cultivate children to observe mathematics in life and strengthen the training of number sense, which is very helpful for children to learn mathematics in the future.
▊ Four questions: What kind of children can take part in Olympic mathematics study?
Not everyone can learn olympiad well. For students who have the spare capacity to study, learning Olympic Mathematics is really helpful for thinking, and getting on the road early is good for future study. But in a word, it depends on the actual situation of the child. If he doesn't like it, and his math scores are generally even poor, then there is no need to learn Olympic mathematics at all. If they are forced to study, they will only have more headaches, study harder and have less interest in mathematics. Learning olympiad is by no means a short-term utilitarian behavior, and it is impossible to get immediate results. You must have perseverance. So objectively speaking, the average student should be based on the requirements of general mathematics.
▊ Five questions: The children's math scores are not very good. Can he learn olympiad?
A: At present, more and more parents are eager for Olympic mathematics, but it is not necessary for every child to learn Olympic mathematics. Before sending their children to learn Olympic Mathematics, parents must find out whether their children have the following two conditions: First, they have the spare capacity to learn mathematics; Second, do you have any hobbies in this field? If a child doesn't like learning mathematics from the beginning, it is very difficult to learn it at ordinary times. If you let him learn Olympic Mathematics again, it will be counterproductive and aggravate his weariness of learning mathematics.
▊ Six questions: How to choose an Olympic math class and an Olympic math teacher for children?
A: This will vary from person to person. Parents can make decisions according to their children's situation. If your child has a strong thirst for knowledge, a high interest in learning Olympic Mathematics, and a strong ability to learn mathematics, and can take the initiative to ask questions in the "big class", then there is no need to ask a tutor and find a better Olympic Mathematics course in an educational institution. If children are not outstanding in the above aspects, you can consider "one-on-one" or tutoring, so that "one-on-one" teachers can provide targeted counseling. It should be pointed out that one of the key problems in learning Olympic Mathematics well is to ask more questions and communicate with teachers. Specialized teachers can solve children's problems in time, which will greatly promote the study of Olympic Mathematics.
▊ Seven questions: Do more Olympic math questions?
A: Practice makes perfect. If you want to learn the Olympic Mathematics well, you must do more questions selectively, but you must never do them blindly and engage in "sea tactics". It is best to let the teacher give targeted questions, and be sure to sum up while learning. After doing the questions, make a summary and let the children draw inferences.
▊ Eight questions: Do you have to take part in the competition to learn Olympic Mathematics?
A: Proper competition is very important to improve students' interest in learning. The competition provides a stage for students to show. On the premise of children's voluntary participation, they can participate in some competitions, but it should be recognized that only a few people will win prizes in the competition. We should not focus on winning the prize in the competition, but on cultivating interest and having a long-term vision.
