Success Story

Cornerstones of our success include:
Diversity. Our students come from all backgrounds. Depending on the program, 51%-61% of our participants are underrepresented in STEM (girls of any race/ethnicity and boys who are African American, Latino, Native American or Multi-racial/ethnic). In the 2019-20 Math Video Challenge, 53% of students were girls.
Positive feedback from educators. Feedback from educators on our 2019-20 end-of-year surveys was overwhelmingly positive. Among the results, 98% of coaches said after participating in the MATHCOUNTS Competition Series, their students were able to successfully tackle and answer math problems they had never seen before. 98% of club leaders said after participating in the National Math Club, their students had more confidence in their math and problem-solving skills. And 100% of team advisors were satisfied with their overall Math Video Challenge experience.
Career confidence and preparedness. MATHCOUNTS is designed for grades 6-8--the time when students solidify their identities, with a student's opinion about STEM in 8th grade predicting his/her likelihood to pursue a STEM career. It is not only important to excite students about STEM careers; it is critical that they are prepared to be successful in the courses necessary to pursue these careers. MATHCOUNTS both excites and prepares our future STEM professionals.
