1, different types of questions: Mathematical Olympiad pays attention to the investigation of basic knowledge, and the topics are usually more direct and specific, requiring students to complete calculation and reasoning quickly and accurately, while thinking mathematics pays more attention to cultivating students' logical thinking and problem-solving ability, and the topics are more abstract and open, requiring students to think and reason deeply.

2. Different problem-solving methods: Mathematical thinking mainly depends on the specific knowledge and methods learned, such as formulas and theorems, while mathematical thinking pays more attention to cultivating students' creative thinking, encouraging them to find different ideas and methods to solve problems and find different solutions and reasoning processes, so mathematical thinking is superior to mathematical thinking.
