ABOUT MATHCOUNTS
MathCounts is a nationwide middle school mathematics competition held in various places in the United States for 6th, 7th and 8th Grade students. The subject matter includes geometry, combinatorics, counting, probability, number theory, and algebra. Cash scholarships are awarded to high-ranking students at the national competition and many universities give scholarships including full tuition to the top finishers at the state level.
Every MATHCOUNTS competition consists of 4 rounds—Sprint, Target, Team and Countdown Round.
Sprint Round: 40 minutes to solve 30 problems total and no calculators used. It focus on speed and accuracy.
Target Round: Approx. 30 minutes to solve 8 problems total with calculators. It focus on problem solving and mathematical reasoning.
Team Round: 20 minutes to solve 10 problems total with calculators. It focus on problem solving and collaboration.
Countdown Round: Maximum of 45 seconds per problem and no calculators used. It focus on speed and accuracy.
The Competition Series has 4 levels of competition—school, chapter, state and national. Here’s what a typical program year looks like.
Schools register in the fall and work with students during the year. Coaches administer the School Competition, usually in January.
Between 1 and 10 students from each school advance to the local Chapter Competition, which takes place in February.
Top students from each Chapter Competition advance to their State Competition, which takes place in March.
Top 4 individual competitors from each State Competition receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the National Competition, which takes place in May.
