Math Counts Team

The Math Counts Team is a group of Jr. High students that enjoy doing math. To be a member of the Team, you must have good grades and good study habits in Algebra. You must also be a team worker and be excited to work on challenging math problems.

Team members spend one Saturday in February at SIUE doing Math contests as teams and as individuals. There are six members on the Math Counts Team.
