Phenomenal resource for math competition coaches and students
I am a middle school math team coach constantly looking for good material to use with my students, as well as books that can teach me some better ways to work through the problems. This book gives me both, and I am ordering more for my math team because of it. Each concept is organized by larger topic and explained clearly, with practice problems similar to what you would find in a Math Counts or AMC contest. You will learn some new tricks (they were new to me at least) that helps solve problems much more quickly. I recommend it to new coaches who have caught the math competition bug but don't know where to get materials, or even experienced coaches who want another outstanding resource for their library. For someone still trying to learn all of the ins and outs of middle school math contests, this has vaulted into a spot as one of my go-to resources, along with the Art of Problem Solving series and old Math Counts problems.

Excellent Book
We bought this for my son to help him study for the Math Counts competition - and just as a resource to supplement his math curriculum. He loved the book and found it VERY helpful. Would highly recommend it.

An Excellent Book!
This is an impressive collection of competition math problems that are explained very well! The book addresses multiple levels of ability and is a wonderful source of interesting mathematics. As a high school math coach of many years I can say that this book is NOT just for Middle School! It's a great high school math book. Math teachers everywhere need to be challenging students to think. "Competition Math for Middle School" is just what they need. I recommend this book to math teachers teaching everything from Algebra 1 to Calculus. Topics in the book include Number Theory, Geometry and Combinatorics. It's a treat!
