NON-SCHOOL COMPETITOR PRE-REGISTRATION RESOURCES
Registration for the MATHCOUNTS Competition Series is now closed.
A student may register as an NSC only if their official school of record is not registering for the Competition Series and will not support student participation in the program through the school. Registration costs $80 per NSC.
A student may compete as an NSC if:
- Their official school of record is not registering for the 2023-2024 MATHCOUNTS Competition Series.
- They are a student in grades 6-8.
- There are no more than 12 NSCs registered from the school.
Note: Students attending home schools or virtual schools are not considered NCSs; home schools and virtual schools should register as schools in the online registration portal.
Before registering an NSC, please:
- Confirm with school officials that your child's school will not be participating in the Competition Series. MATHCOUNTS may contact the school of a registered NSC to confirm eligibility.
- Review the Competition Rules & FAQ here to see complete NSC qualifications.

Created by Art of Problem Solving's Richard Rusczyk, MATHCOUNTS Minis are deep-dives into common problem-solving concepts and include a 5-15 minute video, plus a handout with practice problems and solutions.
Practice Plans are 45-minute structured lessons with a warm-up activity, a video that introduces a math concept, practice problems and an extension idea. They cover a variety of math topics and skills and are guaranteed to engage your student.
Available as an online game and a free iOS app, the MATHCOUNTS Trainer Game allows students to solve lots of past MATHCOUNTS problems in a fun, competitive setting with other students...complete with a real-time leaderboard!
One of the best ways to grow as a problem solver is simply to solve more problems. That's why we provide last year's chapter and state MATHCOUNTS competitions for free! We update these competitions throughout the year as the Competition Series takes place.
