Editorial Reviews
Product Description
For forty years the Intermediate Math League of Eastern Massachusetts (IMLEM) has challenged students to aim higher than standard math courses and build a deeper understanding. This book is for students who take up this challenge. The topics align with modern middle school curricula: fractions, decimals, percents, prime factorization, plane and spatial geometry, probability, statistics, Venn diagrams, combinatorics, modular arithmetic, algebra. But Hard Math asks much harder questions. For example, rather than asking how to write 2/5 as a decimal, it asks students how to use 99999 = 9 × 41 × 271 to find the tenth digit in the decimal for 1/271. And it teaches the material and problem-solving strategies needed to solve them. The book is organized to serve IMLEM students and coaches: each chapter covers material for a given contest. But it can also be enrichment for anyone who wishes his or her math class were harder and preparation for other middle school math contests.
