Recently, the parents of Xiaoshengchu have been asking me: How can I make my children love and learn Olympic Mathematics?

Indeed, this is a very important issue in junior high school. There are two reasons:

(1) Among the tricks of Xiaoshengchu, the highest weight and proportion is Olympiad.

(2) In the placement test after junior high school promotion or relocation, the highest weight and proportion is Olympiad.

Before analyzing problems like onions, we need to clarify the concepts.

In life and work, there are many examples of misjudgment, misreading, accidental injury and even mistakes and mistakes because of unclear concepts and unclear conceptual boundaries. We often say that a person is "awesome", and I firmly believe that the base of this person's brain operating system must have more than N concepts as clear as blades.

What is the Olympics? Consultants in dictionaries and training institutions will have various answers, but the real concept at this stage can be framed by "scope", that is, the mathematics or thinking of mainstream extracurricular classes is "Olympiad". Because primary school classes are not studied, junior high school students have to take various exams at the beginning, which is very morbid.

Say it again: I don't study in primary school, and the things to be tested in various exams in junior high school are called "Olympic Mathematics". Abused many parents and children thousands of times.

I was born in an educational family, and I almost threw up after reading so many real logical relationships among education committees, schools, teachers and students. As for the "Olympic Mathematics", a new thing used to abuse candidates, I almost threw up in the first half of my study with my children. After being abused several times, he fought his way out, and even sorted out a key word of Olympic mathematics learning with all kinds of cognition and metacognition-"interest", which was used by the author to take his children to learn Olympic mathematics from scratch in the next semester of grade four. From the beginning of the boycott and boycott, only one year later, he not only made up all the previous courses, but also won the first prize and the second prize in each cup. Since then, I have also helped many parents and children, using scientific methods and the path of progress, not to be abused by Olympiad, or to say that I am dying.

Author's Note: The following words are very important. If you can't read word by word and read it several times, don't waste these minutes. Use the eleventh holiday to catch up on sleep. Before this article was published, I talked about it in many junior high school lectures. Many parents and children have benefited from this, and many children's Olympic math scores have made great progress. More importantly, they are not tired of learning because of the Olympics. However, many parents just can't read word for word. They are anxious and even have no patience to read an article carefully. For anxiety, you can see my other article "Open Days in Key Middle Schools and Anxiety of Junior Middle School Parents".

Curiosity and interest are the most precious personality qualities of children in primary school, and they are also the "non-intellectual factors" that play a decisive role when children encounter various difficulties. Mr. Qian Yuankai, the author's teacher, once gave a sentence to the author who was a new mother, which has always benefited me a lot-"Be careful to protect the curiosity of children." As the son of Mr. Qian Weichang, Mr. Qian Yuankai became the chief engineer of Beijing Camera Factory under the guidance of curiosity when he was admitted to Tsinghua University and was not allowed to study, which was an out-and-out "technical success".

We all have this experience. When we describe a future trip or a book that Ta may not like, the child's eyelids will not lift. When we find vivid and interesting points and describe them to children, children often fly around with their eyes shining, and then experience the whole process with relish, so that they will ask "Is there more" and "Is there more". This kind of research is very interesting. We are still worried that Ta doesn't like learning, won't we?

Fun is the key to our defense of children's rights.

It's not enough to say important things three times.

As parents, we should do the following two things. If you and your children have been abused by the Olympiad and really want to solve this problem, please watch it again word for word and practice it again:

1. Patiently and persistently looking for "interesting" teachers. Specifically, teachers have different "points of interest" at each stage of Olympic Mathematics learning.

(1) Teachers in the enlightenment stage: Talk about Olympiad in an interesting way and interact with children in an interesting way.

For this legendary olympiad, which is actually dead, it is the first one for children to accept. Regardless of whether children have the talent of logical thinking, teaching interesting classes and interesting teachers is the greatest protection for children's logical thinking. In the enlightenment stage, it is most important for children to feel that the Olympics is not terrible and interesting. What parents need to do is to find a teacher who is interested in teaching Olympic Mathematics in class and interact with their children in class. Even if the child does not fully understand, there will be no embarrassment of not coming to the classroom. The author once met an elderly art teacher, who was a negative textbook for children to lose interest, because she was strict in teaching and insisted on drawing in proportion.

(2) Teachers in the improvement stage: talk about Olympiad rigorously and interact with children interestingly.

After the enlightenment stage, children should have a relatively above-average achievement after they don't bother with the Olympics. At this time, it is necessary to find a teacher to strictly talk about Olympic mathematics in class and hone children's fine thinking ability; A teacher who plays with children in class and can gain more trust from children. At this stage, children are not only interested, but also seeking their own sense of existence and superiority. We need to help children develop the ability of "drawing inferences from others" and "summing up and tempering". Those teachers who can analyze the olympiad from the outside to the inside, think rigorously and teach students from a small angle are the "gospel" of children's olympiad learning. If parents can close the social distance between teachers and children through communication with teachers, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

(3) The teacher in the leap stage: talk about the Olympics rigorously and interestingly.

After the promotion stage, after the child falls in love with Olympiad, there should be the first pause. At this time, the children fell in love with the Olympiad, and they were excited when they mentioned it. They think actively in class, interact with the teacher, and write the Olympiad first when they go home to do their homework, in order to win the first interval in the next quiz. Or some children feel very tired because they have been learning Olympic Mathematics since grade one or grade two. As parents, we need to find a teacher who can look at and talk about the Olympics with a higher pattern and vision, and such a "master" is hard to find. In today's society, 99% of teachers are looking forward to making money with Olympiad. It is too difficult to find a teacher who "educates people" with Olympiad as the medium. Then, we might as well settle for the second best. In the leap stage, you can choose teachers who constantly improve their majors, memorize knowledge points, have excellent thinking ability, give important cup questions and teach at the highest level of the organization. At this time, we need to understand that some teachers hit the nail on the head when communicating with parents and children, and we need to make it clear that their task is to take their children through the leap stage of Olympic Mathematics.

2. Patiently and persistently guide "interesting" learning.

It doesn't mean that everything will be fine if parents find teachers in the above three stages. At each stage, we need to guide children's "interest" and relieve their "pressure" in Olympic mathematics learning. How to guide children's interest, I believe that every responsible and organized mother can find their "pain points" and "itching points". Different children have different methods. Share one or two for reference only:

(1) Buy interesting math books. There are books from China, Korea and India on the market ... It's interesting to tell math by telling stories.

(2) sign an agreement with the child. If Ta achieves a small goal of its own (haha, it doesn't need 1 billion), Ta's love will be rewarded.

(3) Create opportunities to have a candlelight dinner with Ta's favorite teacher when the children get grades or encounter bottlenecks.

(4) Encourage and praise children more, even if there is only a little progress. It is best to mobilize teachers to do the same.

(5) Practice number sense with poor number sense, temper thinking with poor thinking, dislike the practicality of reading questions, and take children to do reading training.

Try hard, but accept all the results Compared with the future, compared with the greater growth of children, junior high school is not so important, and the Olympics is not so important.

However, at present, there are still many things to be done if we want to have a good school in Xiaoshengchu and not be abused by Olympiad. This time, we will solve the problem of learning Olympic Mathematics first, and then talk about a series of problems on the way to Xiaoshengchu in detail.

I'm Wang Yanfeng, Wenwen's mother. I took my children out of the predicament of Xiaoshengchu and helped many parents move forward together. I also founded an educational institution with different temperatures.

If you are confused on the way to junior high school, I will continue to publish some articles and provide some online courses. I hope it helps you.
