The MATHCOUNTS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides engaging math programs to U.S. middle school students of all ability levels in order to build confidence and improve attitudes towards math and problem solving. Middle school students exist at a critical juncture in which their love for mathematics must be nurtured, or their fear of mathematics must be overcome. MATHCOUNTS provides students with the kinds of experiences that foster growth and transcend fear to lay a foundation for future success. For more than 30 years MATHCOUNTS has provided enriching, extracurricular opportunities to students and free, high-quality resources to educators. Every child is unique, but we believe all children are capable of seeing the beauty and joy of math, whether they come to us already passionate about math, or intimidated by it. There are many paths to math. We work to ensure that all students discover theirs. 

This MATHCOUNTS Albuquerque Chapter is the largest chapter in New Mexico and hosts an annual competition encompassing all middle school students within the following counties:  Bernalillo, Catron, Socorro, Lincoln, Guadalupe, Quay, Torrance and Valencia.  The annual competition is run entirely by volunteers and funded only through generous donations and fundraising opportunities.
