Why do you say that? Because learning Olympic Mathematics is really helpful for children's growth.
First, learning Olympic Mathematics can broaden one's way of thinking.
More than ten years ago, China advocated exam-oriented education. Examination-oriented education certainly has its advantages: high efficiency and strong organization, but its limitations are also obvious: it is too stylized and easy to limit one's thinking. However, the solutions to excellent Olympic math problems are usually varied and often beyond our experience. Studying and thinking more about Olympic math problems is helpful to disperse one's thinking and is very helpful to our growth. In the future, if we can abandon formulaic thinking and give full play to our imagination and creativity in our communication with people and in our workplace life, we will more easily seize fleeting opportunities.
Second, learning Olympic Mathematics can improve a person's logical level.
The biggest difference between Olympiad and general mathematics is that it has many "bends". More formally, it needs a long logical chain to solve. For example, at the beginning of learning mathematics, the condition may be A and the conclusion may be B, and we can only get the correct answer once. Later, it was a little difficult, but it was just
A =>B =>C =>d. But the Olympics are different. Maybe we have condition A, the conclusion we need to deduce is F, and we need A..
=>B =>C =>D =>E =>f can get the result, which may be more complicated: C needs auxiliary conditions B 1 and B2 to get it.
D some forks in the road, D 1 and D2, can't lead to E.
Yes Under such a complicated logical connection, a strong logical level is needed to deduce the correct answer. This kind of logic training is difficult for most subjects, including mathematics in the syllabus. A person's logical level often determines the reliability of his future work, and also determines his success or failure to some extent.
Third, learning Olympic Mathematics can make people experience setbacks early.
Learning in primary and junior high schools is relatively simple, and most people can rely on full marks or close to full marks. But the characteristic of the Olympic Mathematics is that no matter how powerful you are, there will always be problems that you can't solve. A child below junior high school will find that he can't do so many problems, and sometimes he can't even pass them. This frustration of not being able to do the problem may indeed hurt a person's confidence in learning, but as long as it is mastered properly, it will enhance his toughness and keep him calm in the more difficult study in the future.
Fourth, learning Olympic Mathematics can tap a person's potential early.
We know that if we are good at Olympic mathematics, we can submit it to the university. In fact, most of the students who entered the university because of the Olympics are equally comfortable in professional courses. If you think you are a potential person, you might as well challenge yourself with the Olympic Mathematics, so that everyone can see their own light as soon as possible. After all, the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination is very difficult for most people, and a talent will be buried if you are not careful. Although the Olympic Games is also a game for a few smart people, it does give those with potential another chance, another broad road. It's always good to choose more than one, so why not?
Therefore, the difference between learning Olympic Mathematics and not learning Olympic Mathematics varies from person to person. For children who like to think
Generally speaking, it doesn't matter if you don't study. For children who don't like thinking and learning.
It's no use learning. This is my opinion.
By the way, some people say that learning Olympic Mathematics is also helpful to physical chemistry. I said that was pure nonsense. Learning skills and ways of thinking in physics and chemistry have nothing to do with the thinking mode of solving mathematical problems, although there are inevitably mathematical problems in physics and chemistry.
Learning olympiad takes up a lot of children's time. If you want your child to be better than yourself, it is recommended to study Olympic Mathematics, and you can cultivate your data processing ability and logical thinking ability from an early age. To make children happy, it is better to learn art, which can improve their aesthetic ability. If you study at the same time, it will be abolished and there will be nothing. Why else should high school be divided into arts and sciences? There will be more opportunities for art than mathematics in the future. The country now also emphasizes comprehensive quality, no matter how good math is, the score is limited. Mathematics is the easiest thing to be replaced by robots in the future. Therefore, in order to make children's future development easier and happier, I will not send them to learn Olympic Mathematics. If you really learn, your life will be ruined. Let's compare the students who have studied Olympic Mathematics with those who have not, and then we will understand the development.
