The AMC 8: a 25 question, 40 minute multiple choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem solving skills.Mathcounts middle school practice problems
The AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination): an intermediate examination between the AMC 10 or AMC 12 and the USAMO.
The China Middle School Math CompetitionMathcounts problem of the week.
We would also like to thank the hundreds of families who participated in the 50 Mathcounts Lectures 2011 Summer Program. Without their support and trust, this program would not be possible. Thanks goes to these parents and students who reviewed the draft of the lectures, made corrections to errors, and provided excellent insights to solutions.

Mathcounts is for all, so should Free Mathcounts Training.

Mathcounts Problem Solving Strategies

What Is This Project About?

George Pólya said eloquently, 'Mathmatics is not a spectator sport.' Mathcounts is a wonderful team-competition-in-math program enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of middle-school students each year in the U.S. But those only represent a tiny fraction of their more than 10 million peers in the nation. What prevents the vast majority of America's future from becoming a part of the Mathcounts program?

Is it quality math materials? Just think about Khan Academy and Art of Problem Solving, which have put a huge number of excellent math materials onto the Internet (particularly, YouTube), for free.

Is it enabling technologies? Not anymore, with the recent arrivals of Zoom, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, which are, to a certain degree, free.

Is it free yet high-quality teaching? We believe so!

Young mathletes are not ready to learn and study math by watching YouTube clips alone. They need real-time teachers, and the teaching needs to be of high quality. But unlike the first two categories above, real-time teaching of competition math has not been free in Americauntil now.

We are a group of math lovers and enthusiastic competition-math coaches. We believe that, in the same spirit as Khan Academy and Art of Problem Solving, Mathcounts training—in real time—should be free and accessible to all middle-school students in the U.S. At this unprecedented time of COVID-19, we are integrating the best free math materials and technologies to help young math students across America train for Mathcounts for free.
