Features: The implementation of nine-year compulsory education and the weekend system in our country has provided children with time and space to develop actively. How can we better support math learning and development for children who excel in studies? This is a hot topic of concern for parents, teachers, and society. In 1994, when I met with Professor Oharen, the president of the World Association of National Mathematical Competitions in Bulgaria, we shared a common view: stimulating interest in math learning, guiding learning methods, and cultivating thinking skills are key aspects of math education. Based on this, the extracurricular math readers for primary school students that I edited consistently reflect the views that "interest is the source of motivation for good learning" and "thinking is the core of intelligence and ability." Today, "mathematical intelligence development for adolescents" and "textbook development for math clubs" are no longer just research topics for educators but have gained recognition and increasing attention from all sectors of society. At the beginning of the new year, as the turn of the century approaches, I hope that the "experimental textbooks" can contribute their modest efforts to the cultivation of talent for the new century and become good teachers and companions for math enthusiasts among the youth.
