First of all, what is the purpose of learning Olympic Mathematics?
Many parents let their children learn Olympic Mathematics for the following three reasons:
The first one is aimed at junior high schools and prestigious schools. Admittedly, there are requirements for admission conditions, enrollment interviews and placement examinations of famous schools, including several famous schools in Ningbo.
The second kind is muddleheaded. This kind of parents have a tangled process. They saw other people's children studying, and they were afraid that their own children could not keep up, so they also signed up for the Olympics class.
The third is to let children develop their thinking. Most of this type of parents are more patient, holding the mentality that children know as much as they can, and their mentality is relatively calm.
When is a good time to start learning olympiad?
1-2 grade should write and cultivate good study habits. At the same time, simple thinking training can be carried out.
In the second or third grade, you can start formal Olympic mathematics learning, which is of great help to children's mathematics in the curriculum.
How to study olympiad?
Choose a good teacher (or institution)
interest
A good Olympic math teacher should be able to protect and cultivate children's interest, and the difficulty should be gradual. In any case, children should not be made to hate the Olympics. This is the premise and method of attaching importance to education.
join
The degree of children's participation in the classroom is very important for children to learn Olympic Mathematics. Think with your head, not be a bystander. Teachers should try their best to arouse children's enthusiasm and let them answer more questions. Only by participating can we have a better understanding, so it is best to study in small classes.
Understanding process
Mathematics in the class pays more attention to the accuracy and speed of calculation and the use of formulas, and ignores the derivation of mathematical concepts and the process of thinking. Therefore, the study of Olympic mathematics should let children understand the ideas and processes, rather than setting formulas. Many children learn olympiad only to set formulas, and they simply don't understand why they do it, and they don't turn it into their own thinking.
Persistence and encouragement
In the process of learning Olympic Mathematics, teachers' encouragement is very important. To make children feel the sense of accomplishment gained by thinking and solving problems, teachers should be good at finding opportunities to encourage children.
Therefore, a good math teacher should at least do the above four aspects, and many good math teachers may not be able to teach math well.
Practice more.
Olympic Mathematics is basically taught once a week, so you must take time out to do exercises or do what you have learned again. In this process, let children learn to do one thing firmly.
Teacher Lu Jianchuan, a senior coach of Olympic Mathematics, said: Mathematics in the course is a daily diet to ensure survival; The basic olympiad is to exercise every week to ensure good health; Olympics is a professional sport, and its goal is to win gold medals. Parents should put their minds flat and be less utilitarian, so that their children are healthy. The study of Olympic Mathematics is very helpful to the cultivation of children's thinking. It can help children open the door of thinking and experience the fun of learning mathematics, which is of great help to the learning process and life in the future.
