Due to a conflict with another team that are using the FQMS name we are having some difficulty in getting our team registered. The other team is made up of Folly Quarter middle school students who meet off campus and with another coach. The Mathcounts Program does not allow for two teams to exist under any one schools name. We are currently working together to resolve this issue and will keep you posted with our progress. In the event that an amicable solution can not be reached, you will be notified and your registration reimbursed. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience while we try and work things out.

Due to a conflict with another team using the FQMS name we are experiencing difficulty in getting our team registered. The other team is made up of Folly Quarter Middle School students who meet at another location and with a different coach other than the one we were planning on using. The Mathcounts program does not allow for two teams to exist under any one school name. We are currently working together to try and resolve this issue. Should we not be able to reach an amicable solution to this dilemma, you will be notified and your registration will be reimbursed. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience as we work things out.

Since its founding in 1983, MATHCOUNTS has grown to be the largest middle school math competition in the country. Approximately 140,000 students from all 50 states, U.S. territories and the State and Defense Department school systems worldwide participate annually in MATHCOUNTS. Students compete in multiple competitive events or “rounds”, such as the Sprint Round (where problems must be complete quickly) or the Team Round, in which a team of 4 collaborates to solve problems and may use calculators. FQMS will host a school level competition in January, participate in the chapter level competition in February against regional middle schools—commonly hosted at McDonogh School, and possibly advance to higher levels of competition such as the national championship in DC in May. More information about MATHCOUNTS can be found at www.mathcounts.org. In particular, the School Handbook available for download from the Resource menu provides lots of detail and also many exercises for team training.
