CONTINENTIAL MATH LEAGUE: Winners saying cheese with their cirtificates

Michael Kidwell, Fall Author

Continental Math League is an involuntary club for the honors math students in all middle school grades that tests student’s minds with six questions to be completed in thirty minutes.

Continental Math League, or CML, for short, occurs five times in the whole school year. It consists of six questions for every worksheet. Jayden Mercado and Rayna Jagasia from Mr. VanAntwerp’s eighth grade honors math class calls the CML worksheets, “challenging.” CML is just, “another club” to Mr. Van however, it is involuntary, meaning that.

There are many different opinions of CML. Many students of Mr. Van’s class have told him that they don’t like it. Others have different opinions though. “It is a good way to test the minds of my students, I like it, but some of my students don’t with a passion,” Mr. Van explained.

Mercado and Jagasia said that overall, it is hard. Jagasia explained “it is a good way to test the mind with hard questions under this thirty minute time limit. The questions are very challenging though.” She also explained that CML is challenging as much as it is fun.

CML also has rewards-. At the end of the school year, there is an award for the student who has the highest average for CML in the grade. With winning this award, your picture is taken with your honors math teacher and certificate. It is put in the Woodbridge Middle School yearbook. Mercado explained, “I am excited to see who wins this year in eighth grade, I so hope it is me!”
