HOW TO NAVIGATE THE DASHBOARD

Body

Welcome! This page is part of the MATHCOUNTS for Educators series to support registered coaches and club leaders. 

We'll keep adding to and updating the materials in this series, so please keep checking back for tips, guidance and curated math resources. Have questions or need help? Please email [email protected] or [email protected] to get support from Emily, Brody or Naomi.

Tap into a wealth of free resources!

The dashboard is the key to unlocking everything MATHCOUNTS has to offer for you and your students.

To access the dashboard, you must log in, most likely with the same credentials you used or created during registration. Once you've logged in to your account on the MATHCOUNTS website, click Dashboard in the upper right corner of the screen.

(J) Click the hyperlinked order number to view your order online. Registrations for the National Math Club may have orders, but no payment will be due since it is free.

(K) In the State column, it will show "Completed" if your registration is complete. This is not an indicator of payment status. Viewing your invoice (L) will show whether or not payment has been received.

(L) Click View Invoice to download a PDF of the invoice for the order, which shows payment status. If you place multiple orders, there will be a separate invoice for each order. 

Note: Only the person who completed a registration will be able to see orders. For example, if a bookkeeper registers a school with their own MATHCOUNTS account, only that bookkeeper will be able to access the school's order info and invoices, even though the coach included on the registration will have access to the Coach Dashboard.
