I used to be a Mathcounts coach years ago, for about 14 years, and I love what you have to say here about problem solving.
Approach
“We make learning math fun. We believe middle school is a critical juncture when a love of math must be encouraged, and a fear of math must be overcome. Our programs build problem solving skills and positive attitudes about math, so students embrace challenges and expand their academic and career opportunities in the future.” -MATHCOUNTS®
Programs
The MATHCOUNTS® Competition Program is a nationally recognized program designed to excite and challenge middle school students (6th, 7th, and 8th graders) through fun and challenging levels of mathematics competitions. The National MATHCLUB Program is a mathematics enrichment initiative providing the structure and activities needed to encourage the formation of math clubs within schools. The Math Video Challenge is an innovative program that empowers students to be mathematics teachers, video producers, actors, and artists.
