MATHCOUNTS teams are coached by math teachers or, in some cases, volunteers who work with teachers to coach a team.
Coaching a MATHCOUNTS team not only helps students by stimulating interest in mathematics, it also provides tangible benefits for a coach:
- Coaching helps to keep mathematical skills sharp and provides creative problem-solving challenges.
- Coaching provides access to non-routine problems that can also be used in class.
- Coaching a team and attending a local competition help develop a strong network of colleagues.
- Coaching provides a sense of accomplishment as students progress in math.
- Coaching is an opportunity to work with students who are excited about mathematics.
- Coaching brings recognition to a school through participation in a local academic competition.
