This question actually bothers many parents, at least recently I have been seeing parents ask this question on the Internet.
Let's talk about my point of view first, I think at this stage, let's not toss the child, what it is, it's basically fixed. At this stage, the child can no longer learn the Olympiad and cannot keep up.
Many parents may think that their children have learned the Olympiad before, so now that the junior high school requires the Olympiad, then pick up the Olympiad again. Especially now that the junior high school exam is imminent, parents may want their children to take the test to a school that is not bad, that is, to deal with the school choice test, whether it is the school choice test, or the placement test, it will indeed involve some Olympiad knowledge, after all, these two exams have the meaning of selection.
But it doesn't mean that there are selection requirements, and children will be able to meet the requirements. In other words, it does not mean that we have to take the Olympiad, we children can learn to understand the Olympiad.
I'll give you an analogy, for example, the Olympics are coming soon, to participate in the Olympics is to meet a certain standard, not just anyone can sign up for it, then this standard, for example, 800 meters should reach the international athlete level within a few seconds to complete the 800 meters, this standard everyone knows, but obviously, the world 9999% of people can't reach it, if you start to focus on Xi 800 meters when you are a child, maybe you have a chance to reach this standard, but there is less than 1 year left before the Olympics start, and you start buying shoes to practice Xi running, obviously it's too late.
Of course, my example is not very appropriate, after all, the difficulty of the school selection examination for Xiaosheng is much lower than that of participating in the Olympic Games, I just make an analogy, which means that the child has not been systematically prepared before, and he is temporarily cramming, and it is estimated that there is little chance of going ashore.
In fact, there is no need for parents to be particularly entangled in learning Xi Olympiad, the Olympiad is not for 99% of the students to learn, most of them have not learned the Olympiad, or the children who have not learned the Olympiad have not learned the same Xi in junior high school, the same to participate in the high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination, the same way out, the relationship between the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination and the Olympiad is not very large, especially the children whose grades are not super outstanding, basically will not use the knowledge of the Olympiad and the thinking of the Olympiad in the exam.
Of course, there must be some use in learning Xi Olympiad, such as seeing the types of questions, expanding ideas, cultivating awareness, and exercising resilience, which are all more valuable.
Back to the question itself, at the stage of junior high school, we still honestly consolidate the foundation in school, go through the calculations, go through the basic application question type, sort out the knowledge points in the primary school stage, consolidate them well, play well in the exam, and meet the junior high school mathematics Xi with a good state and foundation, so I think it is enough, there is really no need to entangle the Olympic mathematics Xi is not in time.
