Features: Since its publication, "Hua Luogeng Mathematical Olympiad Textbooks" (abbreviated as "Hua Shu Aoshi Textbooks") has had a significant impact on the field of mathematical education and has been widely praised by teachers and students. It has become a reference book for regular competitions such as the "Hua Cup Competition," "Little Number Competition," and "Hope Cup Competition," as well as for cultivating mathematical interest and improving mathematical thinking skills. At the strong request of a large number of readers, we have compiled this "Hua Shu Aoshi Intensive Training" to better refine this textbook series and align it with the new curriculum standards, aiming to cultivate students' mathematical literacy in the new century and develop their individual strengths. The intensive training strives to reflect the following:
- New Problems: This training selects recent competition problems from various regions across the country and influential newspapers and magazines, categorizing them. The problems systematically demonstrate the current hotspots and focal points of various mathematical competitions, offering a fresh perspective on the trends in primary school mathematical competition question-setting.
- New Types of Questions: Each section of the intensive training is composed of a variety of question types, including fill-in-the-blanks, multiple-choice, application problems, hands-on problems, problem-solving tasks, computational problems, and graphical problems. This approach emphasizes flexibility in problem-solving while fostering students' adaptable thinking. In essence, each section provides students with a simulated examination environment.
- Strong Selection: During the compilation, we referred to a vast number of questions, carefully selecting and refining them to focus on cultivating students' ability to apply knowledge to solve problems. This guides students to explore while realizing that mathematics originates from life, helping them appreciate the practicality of mathematics and fostering their interest in solving competition problems. It also serves as a platform for selecting outstanding students across different levels, showcasing their innovative and practical abilities.
- Strong Team: We have treated this intensive training as a research project under the new curriculum reform. The compilers are all distinguished provincial and municipal teachers, subject leaders, and outstanding young educators, all of whom have served as coaches in various provincial and above mathematical competitions. The result of a year's worth of dedication is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee of this book's quality. While based on the "Textbooks," each volume extends and expands knowledge. Correspondingly, in line with the current curriculum reform spirit and competition question-setting trends, some additional content has been included to cultivate students' comprehensive and systematic understanding of knowledge.
All answers are fully explained, and before each section's answers, there is a network diagram and summary of the knowledge used in that section, providing students with references for study and review, making it highly applicable.
