Tsutsie Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm hoping someone can recommend a Math Contest Prep book/program for the very young. My son will take part in Kangaroo for grade 2. We are currently working through Singapore WP 3, but I don't think it is the same or close enough. Most of the books available seem to be for older children - at least grade 4. Thanks, Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Continental Math League starts at 2nd, and has practice books. Primary Challenge Math would also be good. http://www.continentalmathematicsleague.com/cml.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Beast academy isn't contest prep, but is a great curriculum for contest prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijobu Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 MOEMS, or Math Olympiad for Elementary and Middle Schools. Go to moems.org and purchase (or locate at library) volume 2 of the old tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quark Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not daijobu, but Volume 2 has a mix of elementary and middle school level problem sets while Volume 1 has only the elementary sets if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she said. The vol 1 exams are older, and it isn't clear what level they are for. Vol 2 is separated into middle and elementary levels, and they are more recent exams. Vol 1 has plenty of hard problems to solve, but vol 2 is probably more relevant for prepping for moems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
