Engineers across the United States cooperate to conduct the regional round of MATHCOUNTS, a national mathematics competition for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Schools compete with 4 members per team. They are also allowed up to ten additional individuals for a potential of up to 14 total students from a school. Winners at the regional event advance on to the State competition. Winners at the State level advance on to the National competition.
Students and teachers begin preparation for MATHCOUNTS in November. This journey leads the students to compete in February on written and oral rounds testing their skills in a broad array of math problems. The problems include probability, geometry, statistics, and linear algebra.
The program is designed to enhance the math skills of our students and promote excellence in mathematics. The goal is to draw attention to math skills at the pre-college preparation level. This will hopefully encourage students to take all the math courses they can through high school.
