Pre-Algebra Through Problem Solving

This volume covers the Summer term of the Math Challenge I-A curriculum, pairing pre-algebra with word problems. Its emphasis is on applying concepts from school mathematics to more involved problem solving, with selected exercises for practice. The wider course introduces students to contest-style mathematics; this book concentrates on the first of its four topic areas, while the source notes that each term stands alone and can be taken independently. It can therefore serve as a focused entry point into the series, or as a companion to Areteem Institute’s live or self-paced course.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Grades 6–8 students beginning in-depth mathematical problem solving
  • Students seeking practice with pre-algebra and word problems
  • Learners exploring introductory math contests such as AMC 8 or MathCounts

Book overview

The math challenge curriculum textbook series is designed to help students learn the fundamental mathematical concepts and practice their in-depth problem solving skills with selected exercise problems. Ideally, these textbooks are used together with Areteem Institute's corresponding courses, either taken as live classes or as self-paced classes. According to the experience levels of the students in mathematics, the following courses are offered:
  • Fun Math Problem Solving for Elementary School (grades 3-5)
  • Algebra Readiness (grade 5; preparing for middle school)
  • Math Challenge I-A Series (grades 6-8; intro to problem solving)
  • Math Challenge I-B Series (grades 6-8; intro to math contests e.g. AMC 8, ZIML Div M)
  • Math Challenge I-C Series (grades 6-8; topics bridging middle and high schools)
  • Math Challenge II-A Series (grades 9+ or younger students preparing for AMC 10)
  • Math Challenge II-B Series (grades 9+ or younger students preparing for AMC 12)
  • Math Challenge III Series (preparing for AIME, ZIML Varsity, or equivalent contests)
  • Math Challenge IV Series (Math Olympiad level problem solving)
These courses are designed and developed by educational experts and industry professionals to bring real world applications into the STEM education. These programs are ideal for students who wish to win in Math Competitions (AMC, AIME, USAMO, IMO, ARML, MathCounts, Math League, Math Olympiad, ZIML, etc.), Science Fairs (County Science Fairs, State Science Fairs, national programs like Intel Science and Engineering Fair, etc.) and Science Olympiad, or purely want to enrich their academic lives by taking more challenges and developing outstanding analytical, logical thinking and creative problem solving skills.

Math Challenge I-A is an introductory level course for 6-8 grade students who have little or no experience in in-depth problem solving nor math competitions. Students learn skills to apply the concepts they learn in school math classes into problem solving. Content includes pre-algebra, fundamental geometry, counting and probability, and basic number theory. Students develop skills in creative thinking, logical reasoning, analytical and problem solving skills. Students are exposed to beginning contests such as AMC 8, MathCounts, Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle School (MOEMS), and Zoom International Math League (ZIML) Division M.

The course is divided into four terms:

  • Summer, covering Pre-Algebra and Word Problems
  • Fall, covering Geometry
  • Winter, covering Combinatorics
  • Spring, covering Number Theory
The book contains course materials for Math Challenge I-A: Pre-Algebra and Word Problems.

We recommend that students take all four terms. Each of the individual terms is self-contained and does not depend on other terms, so they do not need to be taken in order, and students can take single terms if they want to focus on specific topics.

Students can sign up for the live online or self-paced course at https: //classes.areteem.org.
