Olympiad maths rewards a habit that classroom maths rarely trains: reading the question twice and looking for the catch inside it.
Ninety-six pages of competition-style problems make up this first level, pitched deliberately above routine textbook practice so that a strong student meets some resistance. The value is not only in scoring well at a competition; working at problems that do not yield immediately is what builds the tolerance for difficulty that later maths demands. Book Club structures it so it can be used for timed practice or worked slowly over weeks, depending on how close an exam is.
What the activities cover:
• Ninety-six pages of olympiad-style maths problems at level one
• Questions set above routine textbook difficulty
• A structure that suits timed drills or slow, unhurried work
• Published by Book Club for competition preparation
Aimed at students preparing for maths olympiads and at teachers coaching them, published by Book Club and available from Boipoka.
