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. But while these challenges have been unprecedented, so, too, has our response to them. People across the country have are inspired by our resilient students sacrificed, protested and volunteered to make the world better—to solve the unexpected. Members of the MATHCOUNTS and heartened by the extraordinary community have created apps for tracking COVID cases, started non-profits and companies to create ventilators and masks, and planned new outreach projects to bring MATHCOUNTS to more students of color and underserved areas.
