Continental Math League

The Continental Math League (CML) is a nationwide mathematics problem-solving competition designed to maximize student opportunity to improve problem solving. 

Fourth and fifth graders participate in five meets (November through March), and third graders participate in three meets (January through March). Practice problems are a great way to improve problem solving strategies and performance on the meets and are a integral part of math learning in GPS.

We have found that the problems offered through CMLs are important opportunities to build problem solving strategies and perseverance in solving all kinds of problems. 

Students transfer the problem solving skills and practices to success on Smarter Balanced Assessments.
