I am a math teacher. As far as I know, Beijing Normal University only learns addition and subtraction in grade one, and multiplication and division in grade two. For the first-year students, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division have not been fully learned. How to carry out Olympic mathematics training?
If children have enough interest in mathematics, it is recommended to participate in the third grade. At this time, the students' academic burden is not very heavy, so they begin to study at this time. In the senior year, my studies are heavy and I have less time to study Olympic Mathematics.
I don't approve of parents forcing their children to learn Olympic Mathematics. If children are not interested in learning mathematics, it will be counterproductive. Children may hate math more and more, which is not worth the loss.
I think all students who have the ability, time, interest and professional knowledge in mathematics can learn Olympic Mathematics. The Olympic Mathematics is not suitable for most students, so parents should be careful when choosing. The behavior of "cows don't eat grass and press their heads" is not desirable, which makes it difficult for children to get up before they are cultivated. I have missed the best period of children's growing thinking. If children want to learn Olympiad again, they will study Olympiad for the sake of learning Olympiad. Unlike adults, children can't restrain themselves and manage themselves for their own goals in life, and they will shrink back. So some children don't learn what they can because of this ambivalence.
At the beginning of the first grade, some teachers' children just started to get involved, so they once asked me questions about mathematics. In fact, every parent, whether teachers or ordinary parents, will pay special attention to their children's education from the first grade.
At that time, they asked if there were any Olympic mathematics textbooks in mathematics, so they recommended the set of textbooks in Hua School, which was matched from the first grade.
For example, in the Olympic Games, the problem of cattle eating grass, drawer theory, sailing against the current, following the current, overtaking the wrong car, profit and loss problem and other issues may not be known to junior high school children, but there are in the primary school Olympic Games!
The key to learning olympiad is children. Interest! Interest! Interest is the best teacher!
