Welcome to The Maine Page. This problem page is designed to help competitors in the Maine Association Of Math Leagues (MAML) prepare for the monthly competitions. But you don't have to be a MAML competitor - you don't even have to be from the state of Maine - to try out these problems! If you're looking for more difficult problems, you might want to try out Graeme's High School Math page.
