Features: The series "Problem-Solving Upgrade—Mathematical Thinking Training Textbooks" (Volumes 1-6) were developed based on the "Outline for the Basic Education Curriculum Reform" and the "Mathematics Curriculum Standards." Cultivating students' practical abilities is a fundamental feature of current mathematics curriculum reform and also a core emphasis of the new curriculum standards. The purpose of this series is:
1. To enhance students' interest in learning and motivate their enthusiasm for mathematics.
2. To allow students to engage in creative learning within their own suitable scope, enabling their mathematical abilities to develop fully and improve based on their existing foundation.
3. To cultivate a group of top students who excel in mathematical thinking, abilities, and qualities beyond the average, advancing personalized mathematics education for children 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 lively, diverse formats, it develops students' problem-solving skills in real-life contexts, aiming for broad coverage and strong engagement while reflecting the requirements of quality-oriented education. The examples are analyzed in detail, reinforcing learning methods, and the exercises are closely aligned with the examples, gradually increasing in difficulty. Students can choose exercises suitable for their mathematical level, allowing all levels of students to experience the joy of success.
2. Scientific arrangement and high practical value. The content of each chapter is arranged in accordance with the requirements of the "Primary School Olympic Mathematics Teaching Syllabus," striving for consistency while incorporating innovation. The series is easy to master, remember, and retrieve, with answers provided at the end of the book for reference. These are among the most attractive extracurricular learning tools for children. Participating in mathematics competitions can not only inspire students' strong interest in delving into mathematics but also foster qualities of bravery in practice and innovation. Additionally, it broadens students' knowledge, enhances their mathematical literacy, and develops their individual strengths.
3. A distinguished team of authors. The teachers who contributed to this series come from major schools across various provinces and have accumulated extensive teaching experience over the years. They are all recognized as national, provincial, or municipal teaching masters. The series emphasizes not only learning mathematical knowledge and skills but also nurturing students' mathematical thinking abilities. It balances foundational training for most students while providing a bridge for talented students to excel in various competitions.
