The Original Collection of Math Contests: Lessons and Problems for Elementary School, authored and edited by volunteers of the Orange County Math Circle, contains six topical lessons and two full years of OCMC's Thanksgiving Tournament for grades 3 through 6. With over 400 problems with full solutions, this book is a great resource for elementary schoolers looking to get started with competition math, sharpen their skills, or simply enjoy the process of learning.

Written for the student searching for new competition math tactics, the coach or teacher hoping to find a wealth of problems, or simply someone seeking to keep practicing and improving his math skills, The Original Collection of Math Contest Problems is used by elementary and middle school students to excel in MATHCOUNTS, Math Olympiads, and beyond. Covering the areas of Algebra, Geometry, Counting and Probability, and Number Sense, over 500 examples and problems with fully explained solutions represent the commonly seen competition questions and essential strategies experienced and developed by all the authors throughout their math careers from MATHCOUNTS to the USA(J)MO.

This is the second book of the Math Contest Books Series -- This book introduces the new methods to solve balls and boxes distribution problems. The book can be used by students preparing for math competitions such as Mathcounts, and AMC 8/10/12. Each chapter consists of (1) basic skill and knowledge section with examples, (2) exercise problems, and (3) detailed solutions to all problems. First book of Math Contest Books Series.

For more than 50 years, the Mathematical Association of America has been engaged in the construction and administration of challenging contests for students in American and Canadian high schools. The problems for these contests are constructed in the hope that all high school students interested in mathematics will have the opportunity to participate in the contests and will find the experience mathematically enriching. These contests are intended for students at all levels, from the average student at a typical school who enjoys mathematics to the very best students at the most special school. In the year 2000, the Mathematical Association of America initiated the American Mathematics Competitions 10 (AMC 10) for students up to grade 10. The Contest Problem Book VIII is the first collection of problems from that competition covering the years 2001–2007. J. Douglas Faires and David Wells were the joint directors of the AMC 10 and AMC 12 during that period, and have assembled this book of problems and solutions. There are 350 problems from the first 14 contests included in this collection. A Problem Index at the back of the book classifies the problems into the following major subject areas: Algebra and Arithmetic, Sequences and Series, Triangle Geometry, Circle Geometry, Quadrilateral Geometry, Polygon Geometry, Counting Coordinate Geometry, Solid Geometry, Discrete Probability, Statistics, Number Theory, and Logic. The major subject areas are then broken down into subcategories for ease of reference. The problems are cross-referenced when they represent several subject areas.

This short reference book contains fundamental concepts crucial to solving math competition problems such as those found on the Mathematical Association of America's AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME, as well as those found in local or regional competitions. Full of formulas as well as examples and solutions, this book shows how specific problems can be best solved in order to succeed in math competitions. Content is organized by mathematical topic and has been selected for its diversity. Topics include Number Theory, Combinatorics, Probability, Statistics, Sequences and Series, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Coordinate Mathematics. The book even contains a section containing the author's own tips from past experience in math competitions. All in all, this is a must buy for math competition participants and teachers alike. Contains: Nine Chapters, Table of Contents, Index.

A major aspect of mathematical training and its benefit to society is the ability to use logic to solve problems. The American Mathematics Competitions have been given for more than fifty years to millions of students. This book considers the basic ideas behind the solutions to the majority of these problems, and presents examples and exercises from past exams to illustrate the concepts. Anyone preparing for the Mathematical Olympiads will find many useful ideas here, but people generally interested in logical problem solving should also find the problems and their solutions stimulating. The book can be used either for self-study or as topic-oriented material and samples of problems for practice exams. Useful reading for anyone who enjoys solving mathematical problems, and equally valuable for educators or parents who have children with mathematical interest and ability.
