随着数学竞赛的兴起与不断发展，竞赛数学及其教育引发了各种各样的问题与争议。竞赛数学与常规中学数学有哪些区别？为什么“奥数”风潮的背后会有越来越多的孩子反感竞赛数学？本文从新课程改革的理念出发，在目标定位、教学内容和教学方法三个层面上，对竞赛数学和常规中学数学做出了区分认识。剖析了中学生反感竞赛数学的三个原因：竞赛数学目的的异化、内容的繁难化和评价体系的单一化。针对当前竞赛数学磨灭学生学习兴趣的问题，笔者将我国竞赛数学内容与苏联题做了对比分析，给出了几点提高学生学习兴趣的方法和建议。最后，笔者对于大学数学下放的部分内容作了重新划定和删减。本文主要采用了文献法，比较研究法和案例分析法。

With the rise and development of the math contest, the contest mathematics education has led to a variety of problems and controversies. What is the difference between the contest math and conventional secondary school mathematics? Behind the popularity of contest math in society, why a growing number of children are feeling with disgust at the contest math? According to the new concept of curriculum reform, this paper has made a comparison between the contest mathematics and conventional secondary school mathematics on three levels：the curriculum goal, teaching content and teaching methods. The analysis of why the secondary school students disgusted contest mathematics has been given on three reasons: the distortion of purpose of contest math, the complex and difficult teaching content, the single evaluation system. For the contest math has eroded students' interest, the writer has done a comparative analysis on examination questions between Chinese contest math and Soviet Union contest math，and the writer also has given some methods and suggestions to increase students' interest. Finally, the writer redrew and deleted some contents of university mathematics, which has been contained in contest math. In this paper, the writer has used methods of literature, comparison and case analysis.
