[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Focusing on contests is the wrong approach. Is she in her school's math club? Has she joined a local math circle? Gaining enthusiasm and confidence through participating in either of those would be a much better first step than prepping for a contest. [/quote] Dont exclude contests. A diverse approach is more effective—get involved in everything available: contests, clubs, circles, online programs, and more. Kids pick up knowledge in various ways, and it all adds up over time. [/quote] I'm not excluding contests. My kid loves competitions. I think OP has the sequencing wrong. Pushing the kid to hardcore prep for a competition if the kid isn't already enjoying a math club/math circle/AoPS class/RSM class/whatever seems like a bad call. OP should get the kid to look into and hopefully enjoy math that is more challenging than school math before pushing competitions. [/quote]
