annual report
Chances are, at some point during your time as a math student, one of your teachers told you to
“show your work.” Some teachers may have given you partial credit for an incorrect answer if
you showed how you got it. And maybe some of your teachers even took off points for a correct
answer that was missing an explanation…
Many of our Mathletes and alumni probably can do a great deal of math in their heads—a few
years ago a MATHCOUNTS National Champion went through the entire Countdown Round
without once putting a pencil to paper. Why, then, do so many math teachers want to know that
students can prove their solution to a problem, even if they get the right answer? What is the point
of showing your work if you’re getting everything right?
Different math teachers have different reasons behind their teaching methods, but as we reflect on
the year we’ve had at MATHCOUNTS, one reason is obvious: what goes into your work matters
just as much as, if not more than, the final product.
Just like a student can accidentally arrive at the correct answer without fully understanding a math
concept, it can be easy for organizations like ours to do good work without fully understanding
why it matters. And just as a student probably catches a few of his own errors as he writes down
a solution, mapping out our actions helps us ensure that everything we do truly does support our
mission.
For that reason, we have focused a lot of our efforts this year on “showing our work”—
recognizing that the people behind every empowered student matter just as much as that student’s
ultimate success:

„„ We launched guides for new coaches, club leaders and team advisors to ensure every
teacher who tries out a MATHCOUNTS program for the first time has the resources she
needs to make a difference for her students.
„„ We learned from and partnered with outstanding alumni—from Richard Rusczyk of Art
of Problem Solving, to 2002 National Champion Albert Ni, to professional football
player John Urschel—to provide resources, encouragement and support for students just
embarking on their math journey.
We already have seen the benefits to our organization of prioritizing our path as much as our
mission. Other STEM education advocates have started to take the same approach: at the 2016
White House Science Fair in April, the six winning students from last year’s MATHCOUNTS
National Competition were asked to participate in a roundtable discussion with acting Secretary
of Education John King. The purpose? Not to talk about what they had accomplished, but how
they did it, so others could learn from them.
So what’s the point of showing your work if you’re getting everything right? It’s to share what
you’re doing with others, to reflect on it yourself and, above all else, to learn.
There are many paths to math. A student’s journey matters just as much as, if not more than, where
he or she ends up at the end of it.

At the beginning
of my MATHCOUNTS
journey, not
only was I quite
horrendous at
math, but I was
also afraid of
delving deeply
into a subject
that I was just
naturally ‘not
good’ at... At
some point in
my MATHCOUNTS
experience, I
started to love
the intricate
ways of solving
problems so much
that I began to
talk incessantly

experience
ONLINE COURSE FOR COACHES WITH THE UNIVERSITY
OF OKLAHOMA & ART OF PROBLEM SOLVING
Coaching a MATHCOUNTS Competition Series team can be one of the most rewarding
and enriching experiences a math educator can have, but getting started or getting
better as a coach can sometimes be a challenge. To help first-time coaches establish
new MATHCOUNTS programs, and to give veteran coaches strategies for taking their
coaching to the next level, MATHCOUNTS partnered with the University of Oklahoma
and Art of Problem Solving to create a new online course for coaches.
MATHCOUNTS TRAINER APP FOR STUDENTS
To give students a fun practice resource for the Competition Series, MATHCOUNTS and
Art of Problem Solving launched the MATHCOUNTS Trainer app in September 2015. In
just its first year, tens of thousands of students have combined to solve over two million
problems on the app.
Available as an online program, as well as a free download in the App Store for iOS
devices, the Trainer includes hundreds of thousands of MATHCOUNTS problems from
past school, chapter, state and national competitions. The app also features real-time
dashboards and leaderboards giving students ways to track their progress and engage
with other Mathletes across the country.
The course, Competition Math for Middle School, was offered in Fall 2015 and Spring/
Summer 2016 and featured content created by Art of Problem Solving, as well as tips
from MATHCOUNTS national staff and national-level coaches. In addition to resources
and advice, teachers who successfully completed the course requirements received one
graduate credit from the University of Oklahoma, which they could use for continuing
education credits at their local district or county.
MATHCOUNTS WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS
NATIONWIDE
As part of the MATHCOUNTS Foundation’s commitment to investing in math educators,
MATHCOUNTS national staff led four different hands-on workshops for math teachers in
Chicago Public Schools, Atlantic City Public Schools and New York City Public Schools.
More than 200 teachers received training and free, high-quality math materials at
MATHCOUNTS workshops conducted from August through November 2015.
Participating
in MATHCOUNTS
introduced me to
the excitement
of solving math
problems, making
math an integral
part of my life.
- Ina Flood, AK

MATHCOUNTS Foundation
Funding from the U.S. Department of Defense made these workshops possible, and they
have been lauded by participants and math curriculum specialists for their effectiveness
and relevance. On post-workshop surveys, when asked to rate the preparation and
presentation of the workshop material on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), the average
rating given by workshop attendees across all four workshops was 4.93. MATHCOUNTS
plans to further develop ongoing partnerships with school districts and provide even more
professional development opportunities for math teachers in the future.
MATHCOUNTS recognized by
Change the Equation
In August 2015, the Math Video Challenge was added to STEMworks, a database of the
most highly effective science, technology, engineering and math programs. STEMworks
was created by Change the Equation, a non-profit, non-partisan partnership of CEOs
with the mission of building STEM literacy in all U.S. students.
The Math Video Challenge was also identified by Change the Equation as an
Accomplished Program—the highest accolade awarded in the STEMworks database,
reserved for only the highest-quality, most effective programs. Receiving this support from
Change the Equation will help MATHCOUNTS expand the reach of the Math Video
Challenge and have an even greater impact on students who participate in the future.

NFLPA COMMUNITY SERVICE
AWARD USED TO SUPPORT
MATHCOUNTS
It is rare to find people who have talents in multiple fields; even more exceptional are
people who make it to the highest level in those fields. MATHCOUNTS alumnus John
Urschel is one of those exceptional people and is perhaps the quintessential Mathlete.
Urschel, a guard for the Baltimore Ravens, is also a mathematician. He received a
Bachelors and Masters in Mathematics from Pennsylvania State University and is currently
working toward his Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Learning is an
incredible journey,
and I am reminded
of this fact every
year I return to
be an assistant
coach in the
middle school
MATHCOUNTS club.
Not only helping
these students to
learn more about
math, I also guide
them on a path in
developing problem
solving skills
that pertain to a
variety of STEM
fields.
- Megan Zhao, OH

MATHCOUNTS Foundation
In addition to dividing his time between the NFL and MIT, Urschel is an active advocate
for STEM education, and mathematics in particular. In December, he was nominated
by his Ravens teammates for the NFL Players Association’s Byron “Whizzer” White
Award, which recognizes NFL players who give back to their communities. When
asked to choose a charity to donate his $5,000 nomination award to, Urschel chose the
MATHCOUNTS Foundation.
Urschel’s success and support for STEM education make him a powerful role model for
all of our students. His story tells us that a love of math does not need to come at the
expense of other passions.
“I was nominated by my teammates for the 2016 NFLPA Byron “Whizzer” White Award.
My charity of choice is @MATHCOUNTS.”
“The initial 5k for the nomination will go to @MATHCOUNTS, as will the additional 100k
if I win. Program had profound effect on me as a child.”
MATHCOUNTS ALUMNI
SCHOLARSHIP
2016 ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP WINNER
The Alumni Scholarship was established in 2013 to recognize and support outstanding
alumni whose time participating in MATHCOUNTS had a meaningful impact on their
lives and helped influence their future endeavors. So far, more than 500 alumni have
applied for the award and shared their inspiring stories of being Mathletes, volunteers,
students and even MATHCOUNTS coaches and teachers. The winner of the 2016
scholarship was Jacob Wachspress, a former State Competitor and finalist for the 2015
Alumni Scholarship.
Jacob participated in MATHCOUNTS as a sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade student and
advanced to the Pennsylvania State Competition. His journey in mathematics continued
beyond middle school, leading him to participate in—and later lead—the Lehigh Valley
Team in the American Regions Mathematics League (ARML). As a team member and
captain, Jacob led his ARML team to finish in the top 10 in the nation three years in a row.
What sets Jacob apart from many other students, beyond his math ability, is his passion
for giving back. Throughout high school he volunteered weekly at the Boys and Girls
Club of Trenton, where he tutored elementary school students. And most recently, he
spent a year abroad working as a volunteer math teacher in Bolivia through the Princeton
University Bridge Year Program. Jacob plans to continue working to help his community,
saying “I know that the arc of my life will inevitably put me in positions to spread the
incredible joy math can bring.” He will attend Princeton University in the fall and plans to
major in math.
“It’s that moment. That moment when the perfect neuron fires and the connections rush
through your brain and everything suddenly makes sense and you see the solution
without even knowing why…the ‘click’ moment, when on a profoundly emotional level
math becomes fun, cool, and even beautiful…The real lesson MATHCOUNTS taught me,
which I have used and hope to use forever, is that this magical moment has immense
power and can truly change one’s life for the better.” -Jacob Wachspress

MATHCOUNTS COMPETITION
SERIES
The 2016 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS National Competition took place at the Renaissance
Washington, DC Downtown Hotel—the 22nd time the event has happened in our
nation’s capital. A total of 224 Mathletes earned the right to compete, representing all
50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Department
of Defense and the State Department.
The MATHCOUNTS Competition Series was created in 1983 to provide engaging,
challenging extracurricular math activities for students. In 33 years the program has
grown, currently reaching more than 100,000 students nationwide annually. Designed to
help students develop their math and critical thinking skills, the Competition Series helps
prepare today’s students to become tomorrow’s leaders and problem solvers.
After taking the Written Competition on Sunday, May 8, the top 12 scoring students
advanced to the Countdown Round on Monday, May 9, which determined the
winner. After a thrilling final match-up, Edward Wan, a seventh grader from Bellevue,
Washington, won the title of National Champion and the $20,000 Donald G. Weinert
College Scholarship. Wan also was the only national competitor to achieve a perfect
score on the 2016 Written Competition.
Students began working in the fall with teachers and volunteers serving as coaches. After
using the 2015-2016 MATHCOUNTS School Handbook—provided for free to all U.S.
middle schools—and attending team practices and meetings, students competed in school
competitions beginning in December 2015. Top students represented their school at over
500 chapter competitions in February 2016, with the top chapter competitors advancing
to state competitions taking place in March. The top four students from each state
competition received an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2016 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS
National Competition in May.
Adding to the excitement of the Countdown Round, the team from Texas set two new
MATHCOUNTS national-level records. The Texas team—with Mathletes Andrew Cai,
Luke Robitaille, Benjamin Wright and Justin Yu—was the first to have all four team
members qualify for the Countdown Round, and was also the first team ever to have two
sixth graders (Cai and Robitaille) qualify for the Countdown Round.

THE NATIONAL MATH CLUB
MATH VIDEO CHALLENGE
The National Math Club was created in 2007 to give students a way to engage in math
in a fun, social, non-competitive setting. Club leaders can register throughout the year
beginning in the fall and receive a free box of hands-on materials, activity ideas and
prizes for their students. Sponsored this year by the Northrop Grumman Foundation, the
National Math Club was an invaluable classroom and extracurricular resource in more
than 2,800 schools and organizations nationwide.
The Math Video Challenge gives students a unique opportunity
to use technology and creativity to complete a fun and
challenging math project. In addition to building math skills, the
program requires students to cultivate skills necessary for the
21st century, such as communication, collaboration and use of
technology—skills not typically associated with math projects.
Active clubs can qualify for additional prizes and recognition. Silver Level Status, which
recognizes a high level of student participation, was awarded to 480 clubs this year.
Silver Level clubs received a trophy, student certificates and entry into drawings for $250
gift cards. The highest accolade a club can receive in the National Math Club is Gold
Level Status, which recognizes clubs whose students complete a challenging, multi-step,
collaborative project. A total of 187 Gold Level clubs received a trophy, banner, student
certificates and entry into drawings for $500 gift cards. One Gold Level club, Hawthorne
Middle School in Pocatello, Idaho, won this year’s Grand Prize—a $500 gift card
plus an all-expenses-paid trip for four students and the club leader to attend the 2016
Raytheon MATHCOUNTS National Competition.
Starting in the fall and winter, student videographers worked
in teams of four to select a handbook problem to solve from
the 2015-2016 Math Video Challenge Playbook. In addition
to explaining the solution, students were challenged to craft an
interesting story that showed the real-world application of the
math used in the problem. After a general public voting period,
the top 100 videos with the most votes were judged by a panel
of math, technology, communications and education experts.
Twenty semifinalist videos, and then later four finalists, were
selected in the spring.
Credit: Rich Kessler Photography
The 16 students who created the finalist videos received an
all-expenses-paid trip to the 2016 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS
National Competition, where they presented their videos to the
224 Mathletes competing in the finals of the Competition Series.
These 224 Mathletes then voted to decide the First Place Video.
This year, the GLU3 team from Georgia took top honors for their
video, “#MarbleChallenge.” Each GLU3 team member won a
$1,000 college scholarship.
