Most parents and children believe that those who participate in and win mathematics Olympiads are naturally smart and gifted, and that such a level is unattainable for ordinary children. They think that any Olympiad problem in mathematics is unique and cannot be repeated, and that solving it requires genius. In reality, it's not that complicated; most kids without genius traits easily master Olympiad-level math problems and successfully solve them.
The children's book "Understandable Mathematics for Schoolchildren in 3rd - 4th Grade. Olympiad Problems. Developing Non-Standard Thinking in Primary School" by psychologist, educator, and in-demand author of children's educational materials — Shamil Akhmadullin, contains mathematical problems and puzzles on Olympiad mathematics of various themes and difficulty levels for 3rd and 4th grade students.
The book is intended for parents, teachers, and methodologists of primary school who want to instill a love for mathematics and logical problems in children. It aims to teach children to think outside the box, to go beyond typical solutions, not to follow templates, but to learn to think independently and come up with non-obvious solutions.
It is also for children who love to ask questions, enjoy thinking critically, and digging for answers.
The mathematics workbook provides recommendations for parents on how to study correctly, 10 themes with problems and methods of solution for 3rd grade children, 10 themes for 4th grade children, and at the end of the book, detailed analyses and solutions to all problems. Each topic consists of a small theoretical part, analysis of 2-3 problems, in which the topic and the principle of solving Olympiad mathematics problems of that type are thoroughly revealed. As a result of working with the notebook-trainer for intelligence development, the child will improve their academic performance in school, learn to carefully study the conditions of tasks, use logical techniques, construct chains of reasoning, and draw conclusions. The math notebook-trainer in a game format, with half an hour of study a day, will effectively develop the ability in your child to: - think logically; - analyze information; - think faster; - draw conclusions. Your child will love mathematics, learn with pleasure, and find it easier to pass exams.
Now mathematics will become understandable, and ordinary school problems will seem easy!
