How Are the Meets Run?

CML meets are timed (30 minutes) during Resource -only 1 day each month, starting
in November and ending in March.

As soon as you arrive in Resource, ask your Resource Teacher for the meet problems,
and put your name and resource block at the top of your paper.

There are 6 problems to read & work through carefully. Some problems are multi-step,
so be sure you have answered all parts of the problem.

to the Resource Teacher. You may also write along the sides or back of your test. Be
