What is MATHCOUNTS?
MATHCOUNTS is a national enrichment, club, and competition program that promotes mathematic achievement through grassroots involvement in every US State and territory. It heightens student interest in mathematics by making math challenging and exciting. It introduces students to STEM careers through contacts with engineers and other professionals who serve as volunteers. More than 17,000 volunteers participate annually to coach students and conduct competitions.
In Florida, participating middle schools compete individually or as part of a team in one of the nineteen FES Chapter MATHCOUNTS Competitions held in February. FES Chapters, in turn, send their winning teams and individuals to the State competition held in March.
