Mathematical ability is divided into two parts, one is mathematical calculation ability, that is, the ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide; The other part is mathematical thinking ability, that is, the ability to solve problems.
The challenge of kangaroo's mathematical thinking is different from the difficulty and challenge emphasized by traditional Olympics. Its purpose is to stimulate children's interest in mathematics learning, cultivate children's self-confidence and mathematical thinking, and train students' ability to read, understand, analyze and solve problems with interesting and vivid topics close to life. It is suitable for students of all grades and math levels.
ARML American mathematical regional alliance
The American Association for Regional Mathematics (ARML) is one of the international mathematics competitions with a long history and extraordinary influence in the United States. The event was born in 1976 and has been held for 43 times. Every year, nearly 4,000 athletes from all over the United States participate in this competition, so they are supported by many famous American technology companies and top educational institutions.
ARML competition mainly includes regional competition, strength competition and international competition.
The ARML regional competition is aimed at students interested in mathematics and organized by schools in various cities. The contents of the competition include geometry, algebra, combinatorial mathematics, probability and inequality. The topic type is mainly short answer questions, and the competition form is a team of six people.
Regional competition pays attention to the fun of mathematics, the comprehensiveness of interdisciplinary application and the teamwork ability of students. Therefore, the competition system includes four parts: team competition, individual competition, tie overtime and relay competition. The interaction during the competition is also very high, and the atmosphere is intense and interesting, which is deeply loved by the participating students.
ARML promotion challenge only invites teams that have achieved excellent results in regionals. The competition is conducted in the form of a team, and the topics are all proof questions, and the topics are very novel. Usually take a social hot topic or topic as the starting point, let the team solve problems by mathematical methods, and emphasize the application of mathematics.
The ARML International Championship is mainly held in four universities: University of Pennsylvania, Georgia State University, Iowa State University and Nevada State University.
Since 20 16, ASDAN's China office has cooperated with the American Regional Mathematical Union to formally introduce the ARML regional competition and promotion challenge to China. The China Division will start the exams simultaneously with the United States, with the same test questions, the same competition system, the same scores, published results and unified global rankings.
