A companion series to our "Competitive Mathematics for Gifted Students," the series "Math Challenges for Gifted Students" offers additional material in practice test form. The workbooks are useful for assessment and for development of testing skills. In full color and with fully explained solutions, the workbooks may be used as a fun introduction to problem solving.The workbook contains six 24-question tests. After each test, there is an answer key. The tests are followed by detailed solutions that outline various problem solving strategies appropriate for the respective age. The recommended time limit for each test is of 75 minutes.

A collection of SAT-like diagnostics with answer key, scoring guide, complete solutions and targeted drill practice. The problems address the needs of the students who aim for perfect score in math on the SAT Reasoning test. This volume contains only math, no writing/reading. There are no lessons in this book, only practice problems structured for self-grading: problem sets, answer keys, full solutions. Information for self-diagnostic includes difficulty level and topic for each problem. The book is not meant to be used independently for SAT preparation but as additional practice and diagnostic along with a 'core' book such as the Collegeboard blue book, Barron's, Princeton Review, and/or with the help of a tutor.

2nd Edition - 2014 About "Competitive Mathematics for Gifted Students" This series provides practice materials and short theory reminders for students who aim to excel at problem solving. Material is introduced in a structured manner: each new concept is followed by a problem set that explores the content in detail. Each book ends with a problem set that reviews both concepts presented in the current volume and related topics from previous volumes. The series forms a learning continuum that explores strategies specific to competitive mathematics in depth and breadth. Full solutions explain both reasoning and execution. Often, several solutions are contrasted. The problem selection emphasizes comprehension, critical thinking, observation, and avoiding repetitive and mechanical procedures. Ready to participate in a math competition such as MOEMS, Math Kangaroo in USA, or Noetic Math? This series will open the doors to consistent performance. About Level 2 This level of the series is designed for students who know the multiplication tables, integer division with remainder and basic operations with decimals. Our level 1 books explain concepts that may need review before attempting level 2. Level 2 books are suitable for preparing Math Kangaroo 3-4 and MOEMS-E. Many of the concepts presented, however, reach much farther into the AMC-8 level. Level 2 consists of: Word Problems (volume 5), Operations (volume 6), Arithmetic (volume 7), and Combinatorics (volume 8). About Volume 8 - Combinatorics We continue the study of counting from the level 1 books. We start introducing sets. The study of sets will continue over the next levels, each time introducing more concepts. We continue with a thorough practice of the last digit of a product or sum and we introduce applications of the Pigeonhole principle. Next, we introduce the notion of a factorial and apply it to arrangements. We conclude with a section on dominoes and square tables. This book is rich in strategies and variety.
