Math League & MathCounts

MathCounts is a nationwide mathematics competition program open to all interested Grade 8 Pierce students. Students explore challenging middle and high school-level math concepts in a relaxed, collaborative setting.

The season begins in November with weekly after-school practice sessions and culminates with a regional interscholastic competition in February. More information is available on the MathCounts website.
