The Central Wisconsin Mathematics League, founded in 1970, is a math competition for high school students in the state of Wisconsin. The idea was to create an interest in the subject of mathematics for high school students while they are participating in their mathematics courses and to expose them to some of the great careers relating to mathematics, particularly in the insurance field. It normally meets three times a year on the beautiful campus of the UW - Stevens Point. For a student to be eligible for the geometry exam, the student must be currently enrolled in geometry, to be eligible for the algebra exam, the student must be currently enrolled in an algebra class. The advanced category is an open category, meaning any student can take this exam and this category may be repeated in future years with no limit as long as the student is still in high school. Students who are interested and enrolled in Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Probability & Statistics or AP Calculus can talk with Mr. Hutchison for more information or to sign up.
