Solving the Unexpected 2019-2020 Annual Report At MATHCOUNTS, we talk often about the importance of problem solving…

We encourage students to embrace the Solving struggle and imagination of tackling math problems they do not know how to solve. We celebrate students who try again after falling short. We push students to apply the Unexpected math to real-world situations so they not only can answer questions but also use their problem-solving skills to question the answers they already have.

This year, across the globe, we have been shaken by problems we don’t know how to Students at the Manhattan Chapter Competition solve (yet), and our lives, communities and well-being are at stake. The entire MATHCOUNTS community has been affected by COVID-19, by racism and deaths that have “As we prepare to embark on our next program horrified us and driven us to challenge the status quo, and by isolation and stress that have made us feel alone when we are year—full of its own set of unknowns—we most in need of connection.
