5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, if your child is taking MOEM, July 7, 2009

This review is from: Math Olympiad Contest Problems for Elementary and Middle Schools, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

After I realized his school was participating in the MOEM, I got this book for my son to practice. We would both try a couple of pages of problems every week, and he enjoyed "competing" with me.

At the end of the school year, I was delighted to find that my son won the trophy for highest individual scorer on his team, and also got a "gold pin" awarded to the top 2% of Elementary Olympiad test takes. I can without any hesitation attribute his success largely to the regular practice sessions from this Excellent book.

My 4th grade son really likes this book. He challenges himself solving the problems in this book. I recommend this book for the kids older than 9 years.
