the Art of Problem Solving
Prealgebra
Prealgebra prepares students for the rigors of algebra, and also teaches students problem-solving techniques to prepare them for prestigious middle school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, and the AMC 8. The text is written to challenge students at a much deeper level than a traditional middle school prealgebra course. Prealgebra includes over 1000 problems, ranging from routine exercises to extremely challenging problems drawn from major middle school mathematics contests. Many of the problems have full, detailed solutions in the text, and the remainder have full solutions in the accompanying solutions manual.
