About MATHCOUNTS
Since its creation in 1983, MATHCOUNTS has been the premier nationwide program for middle school mathematics. Its mission is simple: increase enthusiasm for and enhance achievement in middle school mathematics throughout the United States.
In Maryland, the Maryland Society of Professional Engineers (MDSPE) oversees and organizes the Maryland State MATHCOUNTS Competition, while dedicated volunteers lead Chapter Competitions across the state. Together, volunteers, educators, industry sponsors, and the technology community make MATHCOUNTS possible. Below you will find the competition schedule.
