MATHCOUNTS® at CMSE
Building confidence and improving attitudes in middle school students about mathematics and problem solving.
“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® Approach
