What is MATHCOUNTS?

MATHCOUNTS is a national math enrichment, coaching and competition program for middle school students.  In existence for over 23 years, MATHCOUNTS is one of the most successful education partnerships involving middle school students, educators, corporate sponsors and volunteers. 

Georgia MATHCOUNTS

The Georgia MATHCOUNTS competition is presented by the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers (GSPE). With a decline in students entering college to major in Engineering and/or Technology fields, the GSPE has become a strong advocate and host of the Georgia MATHCOUNTS 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.

Sponsors and Volunteers

With the financial support from organizations, individuals, and corporate sponsors Georgia MATHCOUNTS has been an enormous success. 

"Shell is pleased to support MATHCOUNTS. This program fits perfectly with Shell's strategy to support promising students as they pursue innovative projects with an underlying emphasis on math and science. These skills are extremely important to many occupations at Shell. As the number of engineering and geosciences graduates diminishes, it becomes even more important to encourage students to begin building their math and science skills at an early age."

John Hofmeister

President

Shell Oil Company

Engineers, educators, and individuals from various professional careers dedicate their time and knowledge to ensure that the Georgia MATHCOUNTS continues to be an outstanding program.  

How Do I Participate In Georgia MATHCOUNTS?

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 mathelete to advance to the National MATHCOUNTS.
