Course Description

From the CTY Online catalog:

MATHCOUNTS® is a national math enrichment and competition program for middle school students designed to challenge and motivate students to develop strong math skills in preparation for the MATHCOUNTS® competition. This class will cover much of the material needed for success at State and National MathCounts. Students who take this course will be encouraged to register with their home school to compete either as individuals or as part of their school's team in the MATHCOUNTS® competition.

Each topic covered in the course is independent of the other topics. One topic is taught a week on a continuous repeating basis. Students will not necessarily start with "Topic 1" in their first week of enrollment, but all topics will be covered in a 3-month enrollment. When all topics are covered, a student then takes the final exam.
