Pythagorean Division: Students participating require above-average reading comprehension and analytical reasoning capabilities. Their computational skills should be appropriate to their grade level.
Euclidean Division: Students participating require average reading comprehension and analytical reasoning capabilities. Their computational skills should be appropriate to their grade level.
Calculus League: The questions are designed to enhance understanding of the calculus. At the same time they will prepare your students for the AB level of the AP examination. Calculators approved by ETS may be used.
How the exams are graded: The top 6 scores on the sheet will be the team's score for each Meet or Contest. The scores are to be entered on our website, and the results may be viewed online after each Meet.
Awards: Each participating team receives 5 certificates and 2 medals. National and Regional awards will be distributed to duly recognize individual and team achievements.
Advantages: CML is designed to maximize student opportunity to improve problem solving capabilities. Students participate with other students on the same grade level from schools all over the United States, allowing them to compete on a national level. Competitions foster positive ambition and a greater appreciation and passion for mathematics.
