Its mission is to provide engaging math programs for middle school students of all ability levels to build confidence and improve attitudes about math and problem-solving. In Mathcounts, testing is conducted in four separate rounds: the Sprint, Target, Team, and Countdown rounds. The Sprint Round consists of 30 problems to be completed in 40 minutes. This round tests competitors' accuracy and speed. As a result of the difficulty and time constraint, many competitors do not finish all the problems in the Sprint Round. The Target Round consists of eight problems presented in sets of two, with each set having a six-minute time limit. Calculators are permitted. This round tests competitors' accuracy and problem-solving skills. The problems get progressively more difficult, and even with the aid of a calculator, students commonly leave questions blank. The Team Round consists of 10 problems to be solved in 20 minutes. Calculators are permitted. Only the four students on a school's or state's team may take this round officially.{{Cite web |title=MATHCOUNTS COMPETITION SERIES |url=https://www.mathcounts.org/programs/mathcounts-competition-series |access-date=2025-01-21 |publisher=MATHCOUNTS Foundation}} The Team Round tests the team's collaboration and problem-solving skills. The Countdown Round is optional. Competitors buzz in to answer questions. Execution of the Countdown Round varies, with some locations using a one-on-one format and some having multiple competitors at the buzzers at once. The Countdown Round may be official (affecting competitors' rankings) or unofficial. It tests competitors' speed and reflexes. The Countdown Round determines the National Champion at Mathcounts Nationals. Topics covered in the competition include [geometry](/source/geometry), [counting](/source/counting), [probability](/source/probability), [number theory](/source/number_theory), and [algebra](/source/algebra). == History == Mathcounts was started in 1983 by the [National Society of Professional Engineers](/source/National_Society_of_Professional_Engineers), the [National Council of Teachers of Mathematics](/source/National_Council_of_Teachers_of_Mathematics), and [CNA Insurance](/source/CNA_Financial) to increase [middle school](/source/middle_school) interest in [mathematics](/source/mathematics).{{cite web |title=Our Sponsors |url=https://www.mathcounts.org/about/our-sponsors |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230323023953/https://www.mathcounts.org/about/our-sponsors |archive-date=2023-03-23 |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=MATHCOUNTS Foundation}} The first national-level competition was in 1984. The Mathcounts Competition Series spread quickly in middle schools, and today it is the best-known [middle school](/source/middle_school) mathematics competition.{{cite web|title=Yale MATHCOUNTS|url=http://www.yale.edu/opa/newsr/07-04-25-03.all.html|access-date=2008-01-13|archive-date=2007-04-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070429172137/http://www.yale.edu/opa/newsr/07-04-25-03.all.html|url-status=dead}} In 2007, Mathcounts launched the National Math Club as a noncompetitive alternative to the Competition Series. In 2011, Mathcounts launched the Math Video Challenge Program, which was discontinued in 2023.{{Cite web |last=Gormley |first=Molly |date=2023-08-01 |title=MATHCOUNTS Enhances National Math Club Program |url=https://www.einpresswire.com/article/647417733/mathcounts-enhances-national-math-club-program |access-date=2023-08-01 |website=EIN Presswire |language=en-US}} 2020 was the only year since 1984 in which a national competition was not held, due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic). The "MATHCOUNTS Week" event featuring problems from the 2020 State Competition was held on the [Art of Problem Solving](/source/Richard_Rusczyk) website as a replacement.{{Cite web|title=MATHCOUNTS Week powered by AoPS|url=https://artofproblemsolving.com/contests/mathcounts|website=artofproblemsolving.com|access-date=2020-05-12}} The 2021 National Competition was held online.{{Cite web |title=ANNUAL REPORTS {{!}} MATHCOUNTS Foundation |url=https://www.mathcounts.org/about/annual-reports |access-date=2023-08-01 |website=www.mathcounts.org}} Mathcounts sponsors include [RTX Corporation](/source/RTX_Corporation), [U.S. Department of Defense STEM](/source/United_States_Department_of_Defense), [BAE Systems](/source/BAE_Systems), [Northrop Grumman](/source/Northrop_Grumman), [National Society of Professional Engineers](/source/National_Society_of_Professional_Engineers), [3M](/source/3M), [Texas Instruments](/source/Texas_Instruments), [Art of Problem Solving](/source/Art_of_Problem_Solving), [Bentley Systems](/source/Bentley_Systems), Carina Initiatives, [National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying](/source/National_Council_of_Examiners_for_Engineering_and_Surveying), [CNA Financial](/source/CNA_Financial), [Google](/source/Google), [Brilliant](/source/Brilliant_(website)), and [Mouser Electronics](/source/Mouser_Electronics). == Competition Series == The Competition Series has four levels: school, chapter, state, and national. Students progress based on performance at the previous level. As the levels progress, the problems become more challenging.{{cite web|url=https://www.mathcounts.org/programs/official-rules-procedures|title=Mathcounts Competition Official Rules & Procedures|publisher=Mathcounts|access-date=2022-04-12}} Each level has many rounds, always including a Sprint Round (30 questions, 40 minutes) and a Target Round (4 pairs of harder problems with calculator use, 6 minutes each pair). All students are either school-based competitors or non-school competitors ("NSCs"). Most students participate through their schools, starting with a school-level competition. A student whose school does not participate in the Competition Series starts at the chapter level as an NSC, competing individually. === School level === School coaches select up to 14 students from their school to advance to the chapter competition, with four students competing on the official school team. The rest compete individually. === Chapter level === All qualifying students compete individually. Students on an official school team also compete as a team. The Countdown Round is optional and can be used to determine top individuals or as an unofficial round. The top few teams and around a half-dozen other individuals advance to the state competition. The exact number of qualifiers varies by region.{{cite web|url=https://www.peninsulamathcounts.org/rules-for-advancement-to-the-state-competition|title=Peninsula MATHCOUNTS Chapter - Rules for Advancement to the State Competition|access-date=April 22, 2022}} === State level === All qualifying students compete individually. Students on a qualifying school team also compete as a team. The Countdown Round is optional and can be used to determine top individuals or as an unofficial round. The top four individuals represent the state at the national competition, and the winning school team's coach coaches the state team. Some states have universities that give scholarships to the top individuals or other special awards.{{cite web|url=https://www.rose-hulman.edu/news/2022/middle-school-students-solve-indiana-mathcounts-problems-earn-summer-program-scholarships.html|title=Middle School Students Solve Indiana MATHCOUNTS Problems, Earn Summer Program Scholarships|date=March 15, 2022|access-date=April 14, 2022}} === National level === [[File:Mathcounts2010.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Six people in red shirts and beige pants standing in a line next to men in black suits all in front of a man wearing a grey suit and a red tie|President [Barack Obama](/source/Barack_Obama) meets award recipients of the 2010 Mathcounts National Competition in the Oval Office Monday, June 28, 2010.]] Qualifying students and coaches receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the national competition. The competition typically lasts 3–4 days on [Mother's Day](/source/Mother's_Day) weekend. The state team coach supervises the team. The students compete individually for the title of national champion. They also compete as a team to represent their state. The 12 highest-scoring individuals advance to the Countdown Round, where a bracket-style single-elimination format is used. The winner of this round is declared the National Champion.{{cite web|url=https://www.mathcounts.org/sites/default/files/2021-06/2019%20Summer%20Newsletter_%28Final%29_2.pdf|title=Daniel Mai is the 2019 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS National Champion|access-date=April 13, 2022}} Scholarships and prizes are awarded to the top individuals and teams.

The National Math Club program allows schools and non-school groups to start a math club for free. Upon registering, club leaders earn free online access to dozens of games, explorations, and problem sets. Clubs that meet at least five times during the program year can achieve Silver Level Status, and clubs that complete a creative and collaborative project can achieve Gold Level Status. Clubs that achieve Silver Level and Gold Level can earn prizes and recognition.{{cite web|url=https://www.mathcounts.org/programs/national-math-club|title=Mathcounts National Math Club|publisher=Mathcounts|access-date=April 14, 2022}} == Other programs == === Alumni scholarships === Each year, Mathcounts awards two types of scholarships to alumni who participated in at least one Mathcounts program during middle school. The Mathcounts Alumni Scholarship is awarded to alumni whose Mathcounts experience was extremely influential, and the Community Coaching Scholarship is awarded to alumni who start Mathcounts programs at underserved schools.{{cite web|url=https://www.mathcounts.org/about/mathcounts-scholarships-alumni|title=MathCounts Scholarships For Alumni|publisher=Mathcounts|access-date=April 14, 2022}} === Math Video Challenge === In 2011, Mathcounts started the Reel Math Challenge, later renamed the Math Video Challenge. It allowed students in teams of four to create a video that explained the solution to a problem from the Mathcounts School Handbook in a real-world scenario. The program was discontinued in 2023, but the National Math Club offers a similar video project.{{Cite web |last=Gormley |first=Molly |date=2023-08-01 |title=MATHCOUNTS Enhances National Math Club Program |url=https://www.einpresswire.com/article/647417733/mathcounts-enhances-national-math-club-program |access-date=2023-08-01 |website=EIN Presswire}} == Competition winners == Below is a table including each year's winning individual, team, and coach, and the location of the national competition. {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !Year !Individual winner !State-team winner !Winning-state coach !Competition location !class="unsortable"|Refs |- | 1984 | {{sort|Edwards, Michael|Michael Edwards, [Texas](/source/Texas)}} | [Virginia](/source/Virginia) (1) | Joan Armistead | [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.) | {{cite web|title=Mike Edwards, 13, an eighth grader from the Kinkaid...|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/05/19/Mike-Edwards-13-an-eighth-grader-from-the-Kinkaid/1454453787200/|date=May 19, 1984|access-date=April 13, 2022|publisher=UPI}}{{cite web|url=http://www.vspe.org/images/MATHCOUNTS%20WINNERS.pdf|title=Mathcounts Winners|access-date=February 10, 2008|publisher=Virginia Society of Professional Engineers|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080216072255/http://www.vspe.org/images/MATHCOUNTS%20WINNERS.pdf|archive-date=February 16, 2008|url-status=dead}} |- | 1985 | {{sort|Kokesh, Timothy|Timothy Kokesh, [Oklahoma](/source/Oklahoma)}} | [Florida](/source/Florida) | Burt Kaufman | [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.) | |- | 1986 | {{sort|Ewald, Brian David|Brian David Ewald, [Florida](/source/Florida)}} | [California](/source/California) (1) | | [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.) | |- | 1987 | {{sort|Mann, Russell|Russell Mann, [Tennessee](/source/Tennessee)}} | [New York](/source/New_York_(state)) (1) | Robert C.
