Teachers and students have been preparing for this prestigious competition since the fall. Students will compete individually and in teams in both written and oral matches. Winners will receive team and (or) individual trophies (along with their Coaches), and the top two teams and 4 top Individuals will advance to the State competition scheduled for 16 March 2024 in Columbus, Ohio.

MATHCOUNTS is a national program to build confidence and improve math and problem-solving attitudes. The program focuses on middle school students, who are at a crucial stage for cultivating their interests and math skills. Without developing strong problem-solving skills, students face an uphill battle in pursuing science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) careers of the future.

The Competition Series will consist of over 100,000 students, representing more than 5,200 schools from every U.S. state and territory, plus schools affiliated with the Department of Defense and State Department.

Our Dayton Chapter seeks volunteers to serve as Proctors, Scorers, and Registration. Please contact Kyle Stankowski, Dayton Chapter Coordinator, at kgstanko@mtu.edu for details. 

The National Sponsors of MATHCOUNTS Foundation are Raytheon Technologies, U.S. Department of Defense STEM, Northrop Grumman Foundation, the National Society of Professional Engineers, 3Mgives, Texas Instruments Incorporated, and Art of Problem Solving. MATHCOUNTS was founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and CNA Insurance.
