1, olympiad is for children who are gifted, interested in mathematics and have spare capacity for learning. So in terms of difficulty, Olympiad is much more difficult than mathematics.

2. The biggest difference between olympiad and mathematics may be the different applicable groups. Mathematics textbooks are often compiled according to most children, which is more in line with most children's cognitive and logical thinking ability in mathematics. The topic of Olympic Mathematics is about the difficulty of thinking and some fun.

Olympic Mathematics can better train students' mathematical thinking, and the teaching methods are more interesting. Children's interesting classroom learning is also more conducive to the improvement of their grades. Moreover, learning Olympic Mathematics and participating in some competitions are of great benefit to children's thinking development and future study. Mathematics learning pays more attention to understanding the meaning of problems, finding problems, analyzing problems and solving problems.

Many parents send their children to learn olympiad from the beginning, often hoping that their children can improve their math scores through studying olympiad. But in fact, although learning Olympic Mathematics is helpful to improve math scores, it is not directly related.

The topic of Olympic Mathematics is more complicated and changeable. For students, learning Olympic Mathematics is more conducive to enhancing their thinking and understanding ability. This is helpful for learning mathematics and thinking and solving problems. However, the ability of olympiad mathematics can not directly affect the quality of mathematics scores.

Most of the questions in the math exam are relatively basic, and some of the questions and problem-solving methods of advanced mathematics and Olympic mathematics are also very different. Therefore, the advantage of learning Olympic Mathematics is reflected in participating in some math competitions. However, the questions in the usual math exam have little to do with the Olympics. Therefore, learning olympiad is more helpful to mathematical thinking and less helpful to mathematical achievement.

The biggest difference between Olympic Mathematics and school mathematics is that school mathematics is based on the mathematical cognition and logical thinking ability of most children. The topic of Olympic Mathematics is about the difficulty and interest of thinking. The teaching of Olympic Mathematics is an advanced teaching, and the mathematics knowledge of junior high school and senior high school is compiled into a math problem similar to a brain teaser for students to do.
