About the PROGRAM
MATHCOUNTS is a national math enrichment, coaching, and competition program for middle school students. In existence for 40 years, MATHCOUNTS is one of the most successful education partnerships involving middle school students, educators, corporate sponsors, and volunteers.
Georgia MATHCOUNTS
The Georgia MATHCOUNTS competitions are presented by the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers (GSPE). With a decline in students entering college to major in Engineering and/or Technology fields, GSPE has become a strong advocate and host of the Georgia MATHCOUNTS competitions to encourage students at the middle school level to strive for excellence in math and science. Enjoying the thrill and excitement of these core academic classes at the middle school level will lay the ground work for youth to recognize the importance of math and science as they mature into young adults making career choices.
To qualify for the Georgia MATHCOUNTS, mathletes first compete in their local area to qualify for the state competition. The top winning teams and individuals from their local competitions then advance to the Georgia MATHCOUNTS. Advancing to the state competition secures a chance for the mathlete to advance to the national MATHCOUNTS competition.
