The MATHCOUNTS Program

MATHCOUNTS is a nationwide program that promotes math excellence for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students and combines the efforts of the education, business, government and the technological communities. It is a math skills coaching program based on higher thinking skills development with a series of progressive competitions at local, state and national levels. It motivates students to do well in math and recognizes and rewards them for achievement. The program also gives the math teachers an incentive to excel in their classrooms.

The 2020 MATHCOUNTS State Competition and National Competition have been cancelled due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.  The 2021 State Competition will be held March 27, 2021 at the Hilton Austin Airport Hotel in Austin, TX.
