Features: This series of textbooks was written by primary, middle, and high school teachers from Jiangsu Province and JinTan City who are engaged in mathematical competition training. It includes doctoral supervisors, professors, distinguished teachers, principals, curriculum developers, and Huabei Competition coaches. It provides systematic and comprehensive training for various mathematical competitions, enhancing students' mathematical abilities from an early age. It is highly targeted and practical, especially suitable for the Huabei Competition. This textbook can be used for classroom teaching in mathematical interest schools and various Olympic schools. Each volume is designed for one grade level. Each volume is divided into two parts, one for each semester. Each part contains approximately 15 lessons, with at least 6 problems per lesson, suitable for 100-minute teaching sessions. The content progresses from simple to complex, gradually aligning with students' age characteristics and knowledge structure. Each lesson is accompanied by a certain number of exercises, all with detailed solutions, available for teachers and parents who are able to provide tutoring.
Volumes 1 and 2 are designed for lower elementary grades, aiming to cultivate students' interest and intuition in mathematics. They are rich in illustrations, transitioning naturally from visual elements to mathematical language and textual descriptions. Volumes 3, 4, and 5 focus on building a solid foundation and broadening horizons, gradually aligning with the requirements of the Huabei Competition. Volumes 6 and 7 are fully focused on mathematical competitions, equivalent to the sprint phase of the competition, featuring more challenging problems. Additionally, several sets of comprehensive exercises are compiled for intensive training before the competition, available for coaches of competitive teams.
Volumes 8, 9, and 10 are aligned with the current junior high school mathematics curriculum, targeting both the junior high school mathematics Olympic competition and the selective high school entrance exams in various provinces and cities. Volumes 11, 12, and 13 are designed to complement the current senior high school mathematics curriculum, targeting both the senior high school mathematics Olympic competition and the national college entrance examination. The difficulty levels are balanced, combining competition training with the demands of middle and high school exams, making it highly practical.
Furthermore, each volume is interconnected yet self-contained, with slight overlaps in content, forming a spiral teaching approach that is highly beneficial for students' learning.
