Continental Math League (CML) is a nationally sponsored
mathematics competition.
CML practices and meets are
designed to both maximize student opportunities to
participate and to improve their problem solving
capabilities. Each week, the team members practice
techniques in the areas of mathematical and visual problem
solving. The practices serve to prepare the students for
their meets.
Five meets, beginning in
November and ending in March, provide our students the
opportunity to compete with other students on the same grade
level from schools across the
United States.
Sawmill’s fifth grade team
participates in the Euclidean Division.
Participation in this division
requires average reading comprehension and analytical
reasoning capabilities as well as computational skills
appropriate to the 5th grade.

of Scrabble, including how to keep score, how to build better
word combinations to boost point values, and other tips of top
Scrabble players. How many two-letter words can you name? Do you
know any Q words that don't require a U? And what did you do
when you've got too many vowels on your tray? It's fun! It's
educational! It's Scrabble!
