Just right level for my daughter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I just bought this book from Amazon a week ago and I have so far gone though the first few questions in the book with my going-to-middle-school daughter and both of us really liked it. On one hand these questions are different from what my daughter usually have and are challenging in thinking, on the other hand these questions do not require so much advanced knowledge or skills more than a middle schooler have so my daughter can actually understand and learn from them. Kudos to the author!

I learned a lot from this amazing book!!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

I'm doing Mathcounts in my school, and wanted some resources to help me perform better in the chapter and state competitions. I was on and online course at artofproblemsolving.com for advanced Mathcounts/AMC 8, and in the previous years I had taken a course on Johns Hopkins CTY. I bought this book on Artofproblemsolving.com because it was meant for contest "mathletes" like me. Instantly, I focused areas on my weak sections of math, like probability/counting, and geometry. I reviewed the probability section for a few days and in what seems like an instant, it became my best subject. This book teaches the reader through the concepts first, with a few worked examples, then lets you do it on your own. The problems are challenging, fun, and serve as an excellent resource for sharpening skills on weak areas. Now, I'm working on the geometry section. Also, this book shows slick methods for hard problems, like "How many different rectangles can be formed on an 8x8 chessboard?" Overall, I think this is an excellent resource for one who is serious about competition math and wants to excel in competitions like mathcounts. A last thing I would recommend is that people who want to buy this book is that they should be somewhat confident that they will proceed to state mathcounts(or at least, have some experience).

In general, I thought this was an amazing book!!

Great book for advanced Math students

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought it for my 9 years old son who will be at 4th grade this fall. He is at private school and he finished Algebra 1 by practicing with Khan Academy. This book serves as an additional resource to get him excelled in Math. After We go over sample questions, he does practices himself. I grade his work and work with him on questions he got wrong. It’s a great book for advanced math lover.

Good Reference Book for Intermediate and Advance Level Math Students

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I highly recommend this book to all middle school students who want to improve the Math skills to above the level taught at school. Examples in each chapter are well-selected and explained clearly. Additional exercises are available for practices.

Excellent Book -- Well Done!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Unlike Prealgebra: The Art of Problem Solving, Competition Math for Middle School includes all the solutions to the exercises in an appendix at the end. This makes checking out the answers easier -- and also cheaper -- since the student doesn't have to spend an additional amount to obtain the solutions manual. Besides that, the book is well-written and flows naturally from one math topic to another. The author states in his introduction that the student should attempt to solve the problems first, but to always check out the solutions. He says," A lot of the teaching in this text occurs within the solutions. In reading through a solution, you may find a different method than the one you used to solve a problem...." This is the first book written by the author, Jason Batterson. I highly recommend Competition Math for Middle School to any parent of a bright Middle School student. Well done, Mr. Batterson!

Phenomenal resource for math competition coaches and students

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

I am a middle school math team coach constantly looking for good material to use with my students, as well as books that can teach me some better ways to work through the problems. This book gives me both, and I am ordering more for my math team because of it. Each concept is organized by larger topic and explained clearly, with practice problems similar to what you would find in a Math Counts or AMC contest. You will learn some new tricks (they were new to me at least) that helps solve problems much more quickly. I recommend it to new coaches who have caught the math competition bug but don't know where to get materials, or even experienced coaches who want another outstanding resource for their library. For someone still trying to learn all of the ins and outs of middle school math contests, this has vaulted into a spot as one of my go-to resources, along with the Art of Problem Solving series and old Math Counts problems.

Very Condense book, highly recommend

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

If it takes someone 5 min to complete a page of work on a regular math book, it would take the same person 3-4 times longer to complete a page of work (questions) on this book ... and that's because this book is "dense" in contents, each page has tremendous amount of info and each question/step challenges students little more than prior question. Would highly recommend for someone who is interested in competitive math.

Very useful math book.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a great book. Excellent for general math knowledge at middle and high school levels, no matter if the student is planning to go for any math competitions at all. I think this is what the modern world citizen should know if they complete today's high school, no matter where you live.

Somewhat easy for a 7th grader

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on August 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

The material is somewhat easy for a 7th grader. Ideal for an advanced 5th or 6th grader. However, it does cover a wide variety of competitive math material (although in a superficial and hurried way). It's still a good introduction to a lot of math topics.
