Practice Word Problems : Level 3 (Ages 11-13) (9780615873862)

About "Competitive Mathematics for Gifted Students" This series provides practice materials and short theory reminders for students who aim to excel at problem solving. Material is introduced in a structured manner: each new concept is followed by a problem set that explores the content in detail. Each book ends with a problem set that reviews both concepts presented in the current volume and related topics from previous volumes. The series forms a learning continuum that explores strategies specific to competitive mathematics in depth and breadth. Full solutions explain both reasoning and execution. Often, several solutions are contrasted. The problem selection emphasizes comprehension, critical thinking, observation, and avoiding repetitive and mechanical procedures. Ready to participate in a math competition such as MOEMS, AMC-8, Math Kangaroo in USA, or MATHCOUNTS? This series will open the doors to consistent performance.

About Level 3 This level of the series is designed for students who can solve linear equations, are fluent with fractions, and can factor into primes. The problem sets are designed to strengthen specific areas where we know students have difficulty on AMC-8 and AMC-10. The level 3 books are a strong preparation for AMC-8 and a partial preparation for AMC-10. Level 3 consists of: Word Problems, Operations and Algebra, Arithmetic and Number Theory, and Geometry. On the contest list for this level: MATHCOUNTS, Math Kangaroo levels 5-6 and 7-8, MOEMS-M, Purple Comet, AMC-8. The computational complexity makes these problem sets useful for preparing AIME in the long run.

About Volume 9 - Word Problems The problem sets offer a variety of applications of fractions, decimals and percentages. Some of the most dreaded categories of problems are thoroughly represented: mixtures, rates, and problems that engage comprehension. Mixture problems are among the problems that are underrepresented in other resources while being some of the more challenging word problems on AMC-10. The computational complexity familiarizes students with AIME level problems, albeit the easier problems on AIME. The full solutions provide insight in the optimal order of operations and a thorough description of the solving strategies.

Practice Arithmetic : Level 1 (Ages 7 to 9) (9780692241141)

2nd edition - 2014

About "Competitive Mathematics for Gifted Students" This series provides practice materials and short theory reminders for students who aim to excel at problem solving. Material is introduced in a structured manner: each new concept is followed by a problem set that explores the content in detail. Each book ends with a problem set that reviews both concepts presented in the current volume and related topics from previous volumes. The series forms a learning continuum that explores strategies specific to competitive mathematics in depth and breadth. Full solutions explain both reasoning and execution. Often, several solutions are contrasted. The problem selection emphasizes comprehension, critical thinking, observation, and avoiding repetitive and mechanical procedures. Ready to participate in a math competition such as MOEMS, Math Kangaroo in USA, or Noetic Math? This series will open the doors to consistent performance.

About Level 1 This level of the series is designed for students who know addition and subtraction with multi-digit numbers as well as simple multiplications of one-digit numbers. Some of the problems, however, involve advanced concepts and may be useful for older students.

About "Volume 4 - Arithmetic" In this volume, students will explore: the difference between numbers and digits, cryptarithms, and solving equations using concrete models. Each problem is tailored to bring a new learning experience to the student. Simplified versions of advanced concepts, such as the use of parity in solving problems, are introduced.

About Volume 1 - Counting This book starts a foundation for good skills for discrete counting and probability. Age appropriate examples introduce elementary counting concepts and inductive reasoning. We focus on establishing a solid strategy for each problem, even when using a brute force solution, such as listing all possibilities, is an option. Similar problem statements with strikingly different solutions familiarize the student with the subtle details in wording that can make counting problems difficult.
