About MATHCOUNTS

The MATHCOUNTS® Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that reaches students in grades 6-8 in all US states and territories with 3 extracurricular math programs.

Mission

MATHCOUNTS® provides engaging mathematics programs to U.S. middle school students of all ability levels to build confidence and improve attitudes about mathematics and problem solving.

Approach

“We make learning math fun. We believe middle school is a critical juncture when a love of math must be encouraged, and a fear of math must be overcome. Our programs build problem solving skills and positive attitudes about math, so students embrace challenges and expand their academic and career opportunities in the future.” -MATHCOUNTS®
