Art of Problem Solving is ideal for students preparing for more competition oriented mathematics. It is structured so that the student learns the material by doing elegant problems with motivating solutions, with a bit of lecture as well.

Mathway's math problem solver is an excellent tool to check your work for free. Just type in the math problem into the interactive calculator using its prescribed syntax, and it will give you the correct answer. It's like having a private tutor 24/7/365 with you at all times!

Art of Problem Solving offers a wide variety of free resources for avid problem solvers, including hundreds of videos and interactive tools like Alcumus, our popular adaptive learning system.

AoPS online classes are an excellent way to learn mathematics. The lessons are clear and concise, and the exercises are challenging yet achievable. I have learned a lot in my online classes, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their mathematics skills.

Books. The Art of Problem Solving books are an excellent resource to help prepare for math contests. They cover a broad range of topics, from algebra to geometry to number theory to combinatorics and much much more. The AoPS textbooks break down specific areas of mathematics.

The overall level is geared towards advanced students. In practice, many kids find the jump from other texts to AoPS to be difficult initially because of the added depth and rigor.

The general idea is that by getting kids to work through problems themselves, and more importantly discovering how to solve certain problems, kids will develop a deeper understanding of the material. As a result, AoPS Math textbooks are quite problem set heavy.
