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.

This is a very good book.It is a little hard for me a fourth grader. But it allows me to understand concepts.

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.

If you have a child who thinks that math is easy and not challenging, this book is a "must have".
The problems are fun and non-standard. They require thinking and understanding of the material.
All the problems and ways to solve them are explained in the book. If you are not as brilliant as your child, you can show that you are by preparing ahead :-).
This is the only book that I found on the market so far that is advanced and fun, and requires thinking out of the box.

This is an excellent book. It helps you understand what Math Olympiad is and how it works. It has examples and tests and sample questions, and explains the questions in detail. It really helped me understand the problems so that I could help my daughter understand the problems. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in Math Olympiad or has a child in it.

it has many olympiad math questions with solutions. Also in appendix it provides a summary of many math theories, formulas which is handy. this is my first olympiad book and seems like a good book.

Great product! It's a mixture of problems that are good for all ages. These problems really make students think outside of the box!

This book is brilliant. It has tons of outside-the-box, deep thinking problems to complement the more ordinary 4th-7th grade curriculum of fractions, decimals, and intro algebra/geometry. The problems are so creative, so interesting. The past couple years the 5th grade students I worked with started the year completely lost trying these, and then by the end of the year were quite skilled problem readers and problem solvers. The problems were so engaging that the kids mostly taught themselves, with some hints and tricks from me.

This book is good for students upto say 5th or 6th grade or 1st time Math Olympiad takers in middle school. It provides good practice exams to students and explanation to solutions is really good and simple.

This book presents a good variety of word and logic problems. I'd recommend this book for anyone interested in a variety of math problems.
