I have sent this interview post before, and the feedback from parents is very strong. I also spent a day studying the content carefully and made some personal interpretations. I hope we can build up confidence, and the central idea of the explanation is:
Is it difficult to explore? Difficult! Is it difficult to reach the semi-finals? That's not certain!
At the forum, many parents have many questions about the upcoming exploration activities of the Mathematics Garden in June 5438+February this year. In order to give you a more objective and authoritative answer, after several efforts, we finally had the honor to interview the organizers of this year's garden exploration activities. In response to your questions, Mr. Tao, the founder of the mathematical garden exploration science activity, gave the corresponding answers.
The interviewer introduced:
Professor Tao: Member of the China Cup Examining Committee, senior coach of China Mathematical Olympics, head of the coaching staff of Beijing Training Team, founder and promoter of popular science activities in the Mathematics Garden.
1. Last year, Senior Three held the activity of "Exploring the Mathematics Garden". Prior to this, parents thought that "exploring the mathematics garden" was the primary version of "showing the ability of solving mathematical problems". This year, parents are still asking what is the difference between the two competitions, that is, the "Spring Cup" that everyone often mentions. Can you give a brief introduction?
Publicity Group of the Organizing Committee: "Exploring Mathematics Garden" and "Showing Mathematical Problem-solving Ability" are both sub-brands of the original "Spring Cup" mathematical popular science activities. Due to well-known reasons, from the 20 13 to the 20 14 school year, the "Mathematical Park Exploration" was no longer sponsored by the newspaper "Mathematics Teaching in Primary and Secondary Schools", but was sponsored by the Organizing Committee of the "Mathematical Park Exploration" led by Professor Tao, Director of the Beijing Management Committee of China Cup, with the Beijing Management Committee of China Cup as the core. In the academic year of 20 14 ~ 20 15, the popular science activities of "Exploring Mathematics Garden" included primary school 1 ~ 6 grade and junior high school ***8 grade, and the organizing principle was "taking schools or institutions as units, and students participated voluntarily".
Interpretation of Xiao Pang: You can find that the current mathematical garden exploration is in the same strain as the China Cup. Although Beijing issued the registration for the China Cup last year, some thresholds should still be set this year, and judging from the current news, it is basically certain that the Garden Detective will be the entrance of the China Cup in Beijing.
2. In the registration notice of this year's Mathematical Park Exploration Activities, we noticed that the signing position was not only "Beijing Organizing Committee for the Exploration of Popular Science in Mathematical Park 20 15", but also "National Organizing Committee for the Popularization of Popular Science in Spring Festival Cup 20 15". We know that the "Spring Festival Evening Cup" is popular among students and parents in Beijing because of its novel title and high authority. Does the National Organizing Committee mentioned this time mean that the "Spring Cup" will be promoted throughout the country?
Publicity Group of the Organizing Committee: At the request of other cities who are also engaged in extraordinary education, we will gradually invite other cities to participate from 20 1 1. Besides Beijing, there are other cities participating this year, such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Taiyuan. The initial test paper proposition group will launch two sets of papers, A and B, of which A is more difficult and B is relatively easy. In addition, the initial test will focus on two sets of test papers, A and B, and launch corresponding city test papers according to the characteristics of each city. Interpretation of Xiao Pang: Beijing uses Volume A. To put it bluntly, it is difficult, very difficult. And please note that the signature has the words "Spring Festival Evening Cup" organizing committee for popular science activities.
3. Just now, you mentioned that the innovation and professionalism of the Spring Festival Cup proposition have also been recognized by math coaches in other cities across the country. Then, can you also share the characteristics and direction of the Spring Festival Cup proposition with our students and parents? I believe this is what students and parents are most concerned about.
Publicity Group of the Organizing Committee: 1984 ~ 1985 In the first Spring Cup Mathematics Competition in the school year, the organizing committee of the Spring Cup was composed of Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences, Beijing Mathematics Society, Beijing Basic Education Research Center, Beijing Mathematics Education Research Association, newspaper * * *, and the proposition group before 1995 was composed of mathematics teaching and research section. 1995 ~ 2003, the first four of the above-mentioned five units of the organizing Committee withdrew one after another. The proposition was led by Professor Zhong Shanji of Beijing Normal University, and was jointly completed by the Beijing CMO coaching staff, some teaching and research staff in the teaching and research section and key middle school teachers. After several years of transition, combined with market demand, the structure and characteristics of proposition group have been formed. From 2006 to now, the proposition group is led by Professor Tao in his own name, and consists of the Beijing Coach Group, the Beijing North China Coach Group and the Deputy Director of the Beijing Management Committee of the North China Cup. The characteristics of the proposition are: innovation (the original questions used exceed 70%), challenge (with certain difficulty), diversity (introducing elements such as thinking, IQ and puzzles) and humanity (respecting students' feelings and the originality of the proposer). This is also known as the Beijing model and Beijing characteristics in the national industry. From 20 14 to 20 15, the characteristics of this proposition continued. In the finals and finals, schools and training institutions are only responsible for providing test questions, and the review and composition of papers will be completed by expert groups. The preliminary round is the same as in previous years.
Interpretation of Xiao Pang: Organizations and individuals who participate in the proposition don't have to care too much, and their foothold is in Jingmo. All institutions in Beijing have the opportunity to participate in the topic supply, and Xue Sisi, who has several coaches of Beijing Training Team, also has a very good say in the proposition and topic supply. Xiao Pang was also very lucky to participate in the proposition work last year. I want to talk about my personal views on innovation, challenge, diversity and humanity: innovation+challenge+diversity+humanity = difficulty.
Innovation: It is mainly to work hard on the logical structure of the topic, and children need to pay more attention to a solid logical foundation in the process of learning.
Challenge: Personal estimation will not only work hard on logic, but also examine children's data processing ability, because computing ability has always been regarded as a large part of children's mathematical ability by teachers of many propositions. And frankly speaking, Beijing children's computing power is not dominant in the country on average. The data design of garden exploration often lingers on the edge of intense calculation and ingenious calculation, or children find corresponding ingenious solutions through strong observation and logical ability, or
