The national high school mathematics competition is a higher-level mathematics competition in China, and its status is much higher than that held by the provinces themselves. About 400 students from all over the country who have achieved excellent results in this competition are eligible to participate in the China Mathematical Olympics (CMO) sponsored by the Chinese Mathematical Society.
About 60 students with excellent performance in CMO can enter the national training team. After the selection of the training team, six outstanding players will enter the China national team and participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
As follows:
Under the guidance of the policy of "improving on the basis of popularization", the national mathematics competition is in the ascendant. Especially in recent years, Chinese athletes have made gratifying achievements in the international mathematics Olympics, which has inspired teachers, students and mathematicians in primary and secondary schools, and their enthusiasm has been rising, and the mathematics competition has entered a new stage.
In order to make the national mathematics competition sustainable, healthy and in-depth step by step, the outline of mathematics competition is formulated at the request of the teachers and students of middle schools and the coaches of mathematics Olympics at all levels to meet the needs of the current situation.
This syllabus is based on the spirit and foundation of the "Full-time Middle School Mathematics Syllabus" formulated by the State Education Commission. The syllabus points out in the column of teaching purpose: "To realize the four modernizations, we must cultivate students' interest in mathematics and stimulate them to learn mathematics well. "
The specific measures are: "Students who have spare capacity for study should fully develop their mathematical talents through extracurricular activities or offering elective courses", "We should pay attention to the cultivation of their abilities …" and focus on cultivating students' computing ability, logical thinking ability and spatial imagination ability, so that students can gradually learn important thinking methods such as analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, abstraction and analogy.
The contest also promoted the reform and construction of college mathematics courses, improved the teaching level of college mathematics courses, stimulated college students' interest in learning mathematics, and discovered and selected innovative talents in mathematics. So the overall gold content is good. In 2009, the first national mathematics competition for college students was held.
