[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Competition math is different than match from school. The kids who do well on the math competitions are kids who are strong in math AND study competition math. If you want her to do well on the AMC type competitions, you need to be looking at studying for those problems. DS math competition class teaches Algebra, Geometry, number theory, probability and other math skills. All of those appear on the AMC 8. You could be negatively impacting her math confidence by having her take tests that are meant for later grades without preparing her for what is on the tests.[/quote] Most advanced students are ready for math that is couple of grades higher, and which is what most enrichment centers offer as advanced grade level math, where a six grader learns seventh or eight grade math. Competition math prep comes after that, not instead of it. [/quote]
