For the 11th year in a row, Thayer School will host the MATHCOUNTS Lebanon Region Chapter Competition for middle school "Mathletes." MATHCOUNTS is a national math coaching and competition program that promotes middle school mathematics achievement through education partnerships involving volunteers, educators, industry sponsors and students.

After several months of coaching, participating schools select students to compete individually or as part of a team in one of more than 500 written and oral competitions held nationwide and in U.S. schools overseas. Winners of the regional contest progress to state competitions in March. Results at the state level determine the top four individuals and top coach who earn the honor of representing their state or overseas team at the national finals.
