MathCounts is a national coaching and competition program designed to stimulate sixth- through eighth-grade students’ interest and achievement in mathematics.
Teachers and volunteers coach student mathletes beginning each fall and continuing through the year. Participating schools select four students to compete as teams and individuals in a chapter meet in February.
