Speaking of the hottest activity in education in recent years, it should be "Olympic Mathematics". 20 12 The Ministry of Education clearly stated that it is strictly forbidden to link the Olympic Mathematics with primary and secondary school enrollment.
Has the Olympics disappeared?
No, this is a makeover. The Olympics are back. It used to be called "Olympic Cup", but now it has become "research". It used to be called "answering questions" and now it is called "breaking obstacles".
Previously, the National Olympic Spring Festival Cup, Hope Cup and Huajin Cup, which were the most well-known in primary school, were just renamed as "Exploring Mathematics Garden", "Hope Mathematics Youth Club" and "China Mathematics Star".
I changed the outer packaging, but the contents haven't changed at all.
The interest class of Olympic Mathematics is still flourishing, and the price has been rising year after year.
Why is this happening?
In fact, the fundamental reason is that school enrollment still attaches great importance to children's mathematical thinking ability. I once saw something shared by a parent in an educational forum.
Her children are particularly outstanding, with three good districts/cities in three years and excellent quality evaluation in six years, as well as bronze medals in robot national Olympic Games and fencing Haidian. ...
But I just missed the place in the Olympic Mathematics Competition, and ended up regretfully in the "Six Xiao Qiang".
In the brain-burning program Super Brain, everyone is an expert in learning. The contestants are from Tsinghua Peking University, and it is not surprising that they have won more than a dozen awards.
As long as you observe for yourself, you will find that the prizes won by these scholars are definitely mathematics, and there are many topics in the program. Sudoku can only be regarded as entry-level.
In a previous parent-child program, when Eva Huang took his son Andy to a junior high school interview, most of the questions given by the examiner were also related to math or thinking.
take for example
"If you are in line now, there are 7 people in front and 6 people behind, how many people are there in this team?"
"If the lowest temperature was MINUS 2 degrees and the highest temperature was 7 degrees yesterday, what was the temperature difference yesterday?"
Because olympiad exercises children's thinking ability, and thinking ability is a key to determine children's performance. That's why quality schools pay so much attention to this aspect.
Of course, parents need not be in such a hurry. After all, there are not many people who have rigid requirements for the Olympics. It is only through this phenomenon that parents are reminded to pay attention to this aspect of mathematics.
After all, mathematics is very important, but at the same time it is the most troublesome subject for children.
If you want your child to be tall, the foundation must be good enough. Otherwise, it will only waste parents' money, and children will only be more disgusted.
And to lay the foundation for children, in fact, from birth, you can take your children to perceive what the number "1" stands for.
More strictly speaking, giving children mathematical enlightenment must not be limited to counting, addition and subtraction, but to cultivate their logical ability, thinking ability and calculus ability. The most important thing is to visualize abstract topics and make them alive.
In this way, children can really internalize mathematics knowledge in their hearts instead of memorizing it painfully. Children are interested in mathematics, and it is the best time to go to the plateau for training at this time.
