Brief Introduction of Hope Cup Mathematics Invitational Tournament

This invitational tournament has been held for 20 consecutive times since 1990. In the past 20 years, the organizers have always insisted that the competition is open to most schools and students. Every link from proposition, award to organization revolves around one purpose: to stimulate middle school students' interest in learning, cultivate their self-confidence and constantly improve their ability and quality. This activity only involves Grade One, Grade Two, Grade One and Grade Two, not Grade Three and Grade Three. It is not repeated with the Olympic Games, linked with the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, and does not increase the burden on teachers and students, so it is welcomed by teachers and students.

The competition was affirmed by the former State Education Commission and included in the list of national competitions approved by the former State Education Commission. At the same time, more and more mathematicians and mathematicians give enthusiastic care and support to the invitational tournament. By the tenth session, there were more than 500 participating cities and the total number of students reached 5.98 million. "Hope Cup" national mathematics invitational tournament has become one of the largest and most influential extracurricular activities among middle school students.

According to reports, the competition is divided into two sessions. The preliminary examination (conducted in March every year) is organized by all localities (provinces, cities, counties, [districts] and schools) and conducted at the same time in all participating schools in the country. Each test point is graded and graded according to the grading standard issued by the proposition Committee, and the players who take part in the second test are selected according to the proportion of one seventh. The second test (conducted in May every year) is organized by the local branch of the Editorial Committee of Mathematics and Physics, or by the teaching and research offices or education colleges, teaching institutes and teachers' further education schools in various cities. After the examination, the examination papers will be sealed in each test center, sent to the organizing committee after registration, and marked by the proposition committee, from which the first, second and third prizes will be awarded according to the results, and gold, silver and bronze prizes and award certificates will be awarded respectively. The organizing committee will award the "Hope Cup" prize for organizing the mathematical invitational tournament to the regions or schools that have done a good job in organizing it.

The Japanese Mathematical Olympic Committee is very concerned about this competition. Mr. Wakayama Rongji, Director of the Committee Affairs Bureau, made a special trip to China to discuss the exhibition with the organizing committee of the invitational tournament. Since 1996, some Japanese middle school students have been organized to participate in the competition for three consecutive years, which is the first time for chinese social organizations to hold similar competitions abroad. In recent years, relevant organizations in the United States and Germany have also contacted and cooperated with the Organizing Committee.

Introduction to entering the wonderful mathematics garden competition

Organizer: China Academy of Juvenile Sciences; China Youth Development Service Center; National popular science activity "Young people enter the scientific world"; Office of the Steering Committee; China Youth Mathematics Forum Organizing Committee.

Significance of participating in the competition: According to the quality education requirements of "cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability" put forward by the State Education Commission, through the activities of "Walking into the Wonderful Mathematics Garden" China Youth Mathematics Forum, the majority of young people can feel that "mathematics is fun", "mathematics is beautiful" and "mathematics is useful" in lively and interesting mathematics learning, so that students can consciously become masters of mathematics and realize the goal of "learning mathematics".

"Beauty of Walking" was founded in 2003 (the first session was just an activity without written examination) and has been held for five times now. "Beauty of Walking", as a rising star in mathematics competition, has developed very rapidly with its novel examination form and high competition difficulty, and has attracted wide attention in the selection of key middle schools in recent years. Objectively speaking, the first and second prizes of Walking America play a great role in junior high school, but the third prize has little effect.

Competition features: scientific papers, chess, personal puzzle game competition and scientific and technological innovation achievement competition.

Object: Students from grade three of primary school to grade three of junior high school.

Winning rate: 5% for the first prize, 0/0% for the second prize and 0/5% for the third prize.

Written test time: the first half of March every year (the preliminary time in 2007 is March 9).
