Features: Enhancing students' comprehensive qualities and developing their individual strengths cannot be achieved through last-minute cramming or detached 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 mathematics activities in primary schools and provide students with systematic training in mathematical Olympiad content, we have organized experienced teachers to write this series of books. Through the unique "one example, three exercises" format, it helps students systematically master the entire content of the Mathematical Olympiad, broaden their knowledge horizons, grasp problem-solving methods and techniques, and improve their test-taking and competition skills. This series of books strives to embody the following characteristics:
Comprehensive and Spiral Progression. The series covers the entire content of primary school Mathematical Olympiad mathematics, broken down by grade level, with 120 topics set for each grade, each topic serving as a training session. It also pays attention to the connection between grades, reflecting levels and gradients.
Based on Fundamentals, Focused on Improvement. Following the teaching content order of general textbooks (such as PEP and Jiangsu Education Press), the topics are designed based on students' actual knowledge structure and cognitive development level, facilitating self-study and extension training after mastering basic textbook knowledge.
One Example, Three Exercises—Learn by Analogy. Each topic selects "typical examples" from a vast pool of problems. "Approach" provides analysis and guidance; "Detailed Explanation" offers thorough or alternative solutions; and "Tricks" summarizes and deepens the methods and techniques related to the examples. Accompanying each example are three practice questions ("Good Problem Practice") that align with the knowledge points, enabling students to complete them independently and cultivate their ability to generalize from examples.
Keeping Pace with the Times. The examples and exercises incorporate recent question types from mathematical competitions across various regions, reflecting timeliness, interest, openness, exploration, and practicality. They also emphasize close ties to real-life scenarios, guiding students to learn and apply mathematics in daily life.
