A metaphor is used to describe the olympiad, that is, it is a double-edged sword. Those gifted children who learn Olympic Mathematics not only strengthened his logical reasoning thinking, but also made him realize the profoundness of mathematics. And those children who have no talent to learn Olympiad, whether they have studied it or not, may be erased by Olympiad and surrounded by terrible numbers every day, which will easily lead to depression and mathematicians' views on Olympiad.
Parents don't have to rely on olympiad to cultivate their children's mathematics;
The Olympiad is not suitable for some children, but it doesn't mean that parents let their children play. Olympiad is the best way to cultivate children's talent in this field, but for ordinary children, it is impossible to cultivate their mathematical thinking without even learning ordinary mathematical calculations. It is also a euphemism to say that forcing children to learn math will hurt them. I think there is no harm in cultivating children's mathematical thinking. Logical thinking and reasoning are normal mathematical training, and parents must force them to do so.
Olympiad learning should continue to exist;
Now there is a saying that Olympiad will seriously damage children's thinking ability and require all children not to learn Olympiad. This is a bit general. The olympiad is very suitable for some children with mathematical talent. If your child is good at math, he should learn some knowledge of Olympic mathematics to help him improve his thinking ability. I believe this will be helpful for his future math study. After all, mathematics is something that accompanies one's life.
Olympiad mathematics can only stifle children's interest and creativity;
Pay attention to the mathematician's language. Olympic Mathematics may kill children's interest and creativity, but it may also enhance children's thinking ability. If you have strong thinking ability, you can get higher creativity. Therefore, everyone's views on the Olympic Mathematics must be objective. Whether to let children learn Olympic mathematics should also be carefully considered. Olympiad is a double-edged sword.
