Features: Enhancing students' comprehensive qualities and developing their individual strengths cannot be achieved through last-minute cramming or divorced from reality. The development of students' intelligence and the improvement of their abilities is a gradual, long-term training process that spirals upwards. To support the development of extracurricular mathematical activities in primary schools and provide students with systematic training in mathematical Olympiad content, the authors have organized a team of experienced teachers to compile this series. Through the unique "one example, three exercises" format, it helps students systematically master the entire content of mathematical Olympiads, broaden their knowledge horizons, grasp problem-solving methods and techniques, and improve their exam and competition skills. This series strives to embody the following characteristics:
Comprehensive and progressive. The series covers all the content of primary school mathematical Olympiads, breaking it down by grade level, with 120 topics per grade, each serving as a training session. It also pays attention to the connection between grades, reflecting levels and gradients.
Based on fundamentals, aiming for improvement. Following the sequence of common textbooks (such as PEP and Jiangsu Education Press), the topics are designed based on students' actual knowledge structure and cognitive development levels, enabling self-study and extension training after mastering basic textbook knowledge.
One example, three exercises—learn by analogy. Each topic selects representative problems from a vast pool of questions. The "Solution" provides analysis and guidance; the "Detailed Explanation" offers thorough or alternative solutions; and the "Tips" summarizes and deepens the knowledge, methods, and techniques related to the example. Accompanying the example are three practice questions ("Good Problems for Practice"), designed to reinforce the key concepts and cultivate students' ability to apply knowledge to similar problems.
Keeping pace with the times. The examples and exercises incorporate recent question types from various regional math competitions, reflecting modernity, fun, openness, exploration, and practicality. They also emphasize connections to real-life scenarios, guiding students to learn and apply mathematics in daily life.
