However, all kinds of news and current situation in recent years tell us that the Olympic Mathematics can be described as "poisoning" a group of primary school students.
Even Wang Dianjun, president of Tsinghua High School, said in the program:
"Olympiad is very different from ordinary mathematics. Many Olympiad problems are abstract and complicated, and even I can't think of the answer."
Coincidentally, Professor Wang of Tsinghua University, as a math professor, couldn't even solve his grandson's Olympiad problem when he was tutoring his grandson's homework, and even angrily criticized that "Olympiad is actually a trick for illiterate people".
Should primary school students learn Olympic Mathematics?
At present, parents attach too much importance to the role of Olympic Mathematics, thinking that learning Olympic Mathematics can improve children's intelligence and spend a lot of time and money to enroll in various Olympic Mathematics classes.
In President Wang Dianjun's view, these are actually putting the cart before the horse.
He believes that the Olympic Mathematics is suitable as a "pastime" in spare time, rather than studying the main business. The Olympiad itself cannot be compared with the three major subjects other than Chinese.
Moreover, the teaching methods of the Olympic Mathematics course are mostly "cramming", forcing children to memorize questions and answers will only mislead them.
For the Olympic Mathematics, parents should distinguish between primary and secondary, and the thinking mode and problem-solving method of the Olympic Mathematics are different from the mathematics subjects in the education system.
Mathematics is to use methods to derive answers, while Olympiad is to think of methods according to answers. The two have little connection, but they can learn from each other.
President Wang Dianjun also suggested that parents can only regard the Olympic Mathematics as an "interest class", which is not suitable for most children to "pull high".
If parents want to learn mathematics well, they should lay a good foundation for their children and cultivate their mathematical thinking.
How to cultivate children's mathematical thinking?
In the words of world famous physicist Yang Zhenning, the first step for children to learn mathematics well is to understand the basic concepts of mathematics.
Secondly, the origin of its basic concept requires parents to accompany their children to read math books and play some math games in the process of tutoring their children's math problems.
However, it is not easy to climb the peak of mathematics.
Yang Zhenning, a world-famous physicist, said, "I also think math is boring, but I was surprised when I saw Liu Xunyu's math book."
You can still learn math like this? "
Yang Zhenning is the greatest physicist after Newton and Einstein.
Liu Xunyu, the math teacher he can recognize, can't be wrong.
Who is Liu Xunyu?
Compared with mathematicians such as Hua and Chen Jingrun, Liu Xunbi is not famous because his energy is mainly in mathematics teaching and the compilation of textbooks for primary and secondary schools.
Liu Xunyu wrote many books on mathematics in his life, the most famous of which are these three books:
The first book is Teacher Ma's Lecture on Mathematics.
This paper mainly tells how to solve four arithmetic problems by graphic method.
Children are naturally more sensitive to charts, so graphic arithmetic is easier to be accepted by children and more intuitive.
The graph connecting algebra and geometry has become the backbone of analytical arithmetic.
So if we start with arithmetic, we should make full use of it. I think it is not only helpful for other departments to learn arithmetic, but also beneficial for science and engineering and even statistics.
The second book is The Joy of Mathematics.
This book is more interesting. Under the pen of Mr. Liu Xunyu, these classic stories from life or history are full of interest and humor. Reading this book will not only break the previous misunderstanding of mathematics, but also be surprised to find that the headache of mathematics knowledge also has an interesting side. It turns out that mathematics can still be learned in this way.
Of course, we have to marvel at Mr. Liu Xunyu's professionalism and thoroughness in mathematical problems and admire his mastery of words. This "bridging and paving the way" method makes children unconsciously enter the wonderful world of mathematics and be fascinated by it.
The third book is The Garden of Mathematics.
This book can be said to be a popular book of basic concepts of mathematics and the best introductory book of advanced mathematics.
Mathematical concepts are abstract and difficult to understand, and various principles are obscure and brain-burning. However, under Mr. Liu Xunyu's pen, the contents of higher mathematics such as function, continuity, induced function, differential, integral and complete works can be easily understood and mastered by middle school students who have only studied elementary algebra and geometry.
After reading this book, I believe that middle school mathematics should be a cinch.
Colleagues showed this book to the baby in grade six. Usually, the baby also has math classes, and sometimes it's a bit boring to go to cram school.
Kova read this book, but found it very interesting. She can also apply what she learned in the cram school.
I didn't feel tired after watching it for an hour!
Parents: A rare book.
Parents also spoke highly of this set of classic mathematics popular science books compiled by teacher Liu Xunyu. Parents said that "the books in this series are generally persuasive, and the language is particularly persuasive."
The greatest advantage of this set of classic mathematics series is that it can stimulate students' enthusiasm and desire for learning and make them fall in love with learning mathematics. Reading such mathematical classics can not only stimulate children's interest in learning, but also cultivate children's mathematical thinking, and the improvement of grades has become a natural good thing.
Many parents say "Three Books on Mathematics" is a rare good book, so don't miss it!
