Continental Mathematics League is a national problem solving competition with the goal of helping students improve problem-solving skills. School teams at each grade level (2 - 9) participate in three to five meets throughout the year and are asked to solve six challenging problems per meet. (Try to solve some of the second and sixth grade questions.) The total points earned for the year determine final team results at the state, regional and national level.
