MATHCOUNTS is a national math enrichment, coaching, and competition program that promotes middle school mathematics achievement in every U.S state and territory. With over 23 years experience, MATHCOUNTS is one of the most successful education partnerships involving volunteers, educators, industry sponsors, and students.
Thousands of teachers use the free MATHCOUNTS curriculum materials to supplement classroom materials or as an extracurricular activity. Those wishing to fully capitalize on the ability of creative MATHCOUNTS materials to challenge students and motivate them to develop strong math skills also participate in the MATHCOUNTS competition series.
Schools select student to compete individually or as part of a team in one of the more than 500 written & oral competitions held nationwide. Top students advance to the state, and ultimately, national level. MATHCOUNTS challenge students' math skills, develops their self-confidence, and rewards them for their achievements.
President George W. Bush and former Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Reagan have all recognized MATHCOUNTS as an outstanding private sector initiative. ESPN aired the hour-long Mathletes National Competitions from 2003-2005.
