Features: The "Problem-Solving Upgrade—Primary School Mathematics Thinking Training Textbook" series (Volumes 1-6) was developed based on the "Outline for the Reform of Basic Education Curriculum" and the "Mathematics Curriculum Standards." Cultivating students' practical abilities is a fundamental feature of current mathematics curriculum reform and a core emphasis of the new curriculum standards. The purpose of this series is: First, to enhance students' interest in learning and motivate their enthusiasm for mathematics. Second, to allow students to engage in creative learning within their own suitable scope based on their foundation and characteristics, enabling the full development and improvement of their mathematical abilities. Third, to cultivate a group of top students who excel in mathematical thinking, skills, and qualities compared to their peers, promoting personalized education in children's mathematics and laying a foundation for the country to nurture outstanding science and technology talents, ultimately achieving the educational goal of "everyone learning mathematics of value, everyone acquiring necessary mathematics, and different individuals developing differently in mathematics."
The writing characteristics of this series are:
1. Strong foundation and broad coverage. The series focuses on cultivating students' ability to apply knowledge flexibly, with thinking training as the core. Through vivid explanations and diverse, lively formats, it develops students' problem-solving skills, aiming for broad coverage and strong engagement while reflecting the requirements of quality-oriented education that originate from fundamentals and progress in difficulty. The examples are analyzed in detail, reinforcing learning methods, and the exercises are matched with the examples, gradually increasing in difficulty. Students can choose exercises suitable for their mathematical level, allowing students of all levels to experience the joy of success.
2. Scientific arrangement and high practical value. The content of each chapter in the series is arranged in accordance with the requirements of the "Primary School Olympic Mathematics Teaching Outline," striving for consistency while incorporating innovation. It is easy to master, remember, and retrieve. The reference answers are provided at the end of the book, detailed and accurate, making it one of the most attractive tools for extracurricular learning for young students. Participating in mathematics competitions can not only inspire students' strong interest in delving into mathematics but also foster a spirit of courageous practice and innovation. It can also broaden students' knowledge, improve their mathematical quality, and develop their individual strengths.
3. Excellent editorial team. The teachers who contributed to this series come from major schools across various provinces. With years of teaching experience, they have accumulated rich pedagogical expertise and have been recognized as national, provincial, and municipal teaching masters. The series emphasizes not only learning mathematical knowledge and skills but also nurturing students' mathematical thinking abilities. It balances fundamental training for most students while providing a bridge for math-talented students to excel in various competitions.
