The ISPE Foundation supports the State MATHCOUNTS competition. MATHCOUNTS is a nationwide mathematics coaching and competition program. School-based teams composed of four students compete through chapter, state and ultimately the national competitions. Illinois' program is one of the largest in the nation.

Local MATHCOUNTS competitions are held by ISPE Chapters during the month of February. Winning teams from the chapter-level competitions move on to the Illinois State competition held in March. State winners advance to May finals in Washington, DC. Click here for more information on MATHCOUNTS.
