CML gives six written-answer problems in 30 minutes, several times a season. Here's a meet-by-meet plan, the habits that save points, and five original practice problems with worked solutions.
Ten original Noetic-style practice problems for grades 2-6, covering all four topic areas on the contest, with worked solutions any parent can follow.
A month-by-month plan, the skills each level tests, what the free official material covers, and honest answers on classes, self-study, and whether the contest is worth it.
The seven contests open to a 4th grader are still the menu in 5th grade, and the level steps up: a longer Math Kangaroo paper, the core of MOEMS Division E, and middle school one year away. Here is how to pick one.
MOEMS is five problems a month, November through March, and that shape changes how you prepare. Here's the format, the scoring, how to enter when your school doesn't run it, this season's dates and fees, and three original problems with solutions.
A flyer came home about CML and now you have questions. Here's how the Continental Math League actually works: six problems, thirty minutes, several times a year, at your child's own desk.
