[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AoPS's "Middle school competition math" (i.e. AoPS Vol1) is a misnomer.  It should be called "intermediate competition math". You need to master it before you start "HS competition math" (AoPS Vol1).

Many high school mathletes (i.e. those wanting to get to the AIME) would benefit by mastering Vol1.[/quote]Not true if the student has completed the introductory AoPS books. They can start with volume 2.[/quote]

Not sure what semantics you're parsing here.  Obviously no one has to take any AOPS classes in any order.  The point was that AoPS vol.1 is valuable to even high schoolers, which was the concern of OP for her rising 9th grader. [/quote]Of course there is an order - you can't take calculus before precalculus, or volume 1 before algebra.

The point is that it's not a misnomer to call a course using Volume 1 "middle school competition math" as most AoPS students will have already completed introduction to algebra and geometry by they time they complete middle school, making the course superfluous for most high school AoPS students.[/quote]
