Math Counts! Math Competition Club

If you enjoyed the AMC 8 Competition or weren’t able to participate but wished you could, we have great news!  The MATHCOUNTS Competition is a national competitive mathematics program that promotes mathematics achievement through a series of fun and engaging "bee" style contests.  The program is supported by the National Society of Professional Engineers at the state and local levels. 7th and 8th graders will meet on Mondays, starting Monday, January 9 and practice for the school contest to be held in February.
