    Would someone mind posting the age ranges for the contests with which you are familiar?

    Has anyone purchased the CML books? I'm looking at the grade 2-3 book and am wondering if it's worth $30.

    My kids do CML at school--district gifted students grades 2-6 and grade 6 also does Knowledge Master Open (not math, but a competition nonetheless). Can't say whether it's worth the money--my kids don't come home saying it's so much fun. I like multigrade contests, with higher ceiling. For instance, DS9 was top Continental Math for 5th grade in district and his buddy who skipped this year was top for 6th grade. How would they have done compared to each other with a higher ceiling? Math Counts at least is grades 6-8, with clearly a high ceiling.

    Cym, what is CML? How can I find out it there is one around where I live?

    Thanks,
