Proofs in Competition Math

All too often, math is presented formulaically and independently of exposition, with little to no contextualization or applicable real-world connection. Through common school mathematics, students often memorize and regurgitate formulas that seem meaningless in that they lack the necessary accompanying context to fully understand them beyond the surface level.

One big problem in math classes is that a lot of kids who get good grades are actually memorizing formulas instead of truly understanding the meaning behind functions. But maths is not about memory skills, it’s about logic, reason, and problem-solving. This clever math book for kids aims to address this exact problem. “Proofs in Competition Math” argues that learning proofs should be above anything else as it’s a way for kids to understand math’s importance and its elegance. This one is for students who need to contextualize and understand the meaning behind complex mathematical functions in order to understand them.
