MATHCOUNTS

MATHCOUNTS is a nationwide mathematics coaching and competition program. A team composed of four students per school, is chosen at the school level. The team, and possibly the highest scoring individuals, can advance through chapter, state and ultimately the national competitions. Local chapter competitions are held for all 11 WSPE Chapters. The registration deadline is in December of each year. The Washington State competition is usually held in March and the location changes each year. The local chapter competitions, which precede the state competition are generally held in the month of February. Local chapters will provide the details to students who have registered for the MATHCOUNTS program.

You can contact us if you need more information about the Washington MATHCOUNTS or want registration materials from your local coordinator. Go to the national MATHCOUNTS site for more information and a program overview. Cool stuff for the students is available on the MATHCOUNTS page.
