MATHCOUNTS is a nationwide math competition series for middle school students (grades 6–8) that emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. The competition includes multiple rounds: Sprint (individual timed questions), Target (short-answer problems), Team (collaborative problem-solving), and Countdown (fast-paced head-to-head). Students who perform well in school and chapter rounds can advance to state competitions, and the top performers at state can qualify for the national MATHCOUNTS competition, gaining the chance to compete with the best students from across the country. 

The AMC 8 is a 25-question multiple-choice math competition for middle school students (grades 6–8). Students have 40 minutes to solve problems that focus on problem-solving, logical reasoning, and number sense, covering topics like arithmetic, fractions, geometry, basic algebra, and probability. The contest encourages creative thinking and mathematical confidence rather than rote memorization. It’s also great practice for AMC 10 and AMC 12 in the future. Participants can earn certificates, honor roll recognition, and official practice exams and resources are available through the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).

FAMAT is a math competition designed for middle and high school students, offering challenging problems that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning. Students can select tests that align with the topics they are currently studying, such as Algebra or Geometry, allowing them to compete in areas where they have the most knowledge and skill. The competition presents a variety of question types that test both conceptual understanding and creative problem-solving, helping students develop a deeper appreciation for mathematics in a competitive yet supportive environment.

Math League is a series of math contests for grades 3‑12, offering individual and team rounds from elementary through middle and high school levels. The middle school program (grades ~6‑8) features several contests throughout the school year and culminates in a National Championship for top students.
