MathCounts

MATHCOUNTS® is a nationwide program that promotes math excellence for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students and combines the efforts of education, business, government and the technological community. It is a math skills coaching program based on higher thinking skills development with a series of progressive competitions at local, state and national levels.

    Future City 2024

     Future City is a project-based learning program where students in 6th, 7th, & 8th grades imagine, research, design, & build cities of the future. Future City starts with a question—how can we make the world a better place? To answer it, students build cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability issue. Past topics include stormwater management, urban agriculture, public spaces, & green energy.

    This year’s theme is Electrify Your Future. Teams will design a representation of a city being 100% electrically powered with energy generated from sources that keep citizens and the environment healthy and safe. Participants complete four deliverables: a 1,500-word city essay; a scale model built from recycled materials; a project plan; & a presentation to judges at Regional Competitions in January.

    The Houston Regional Competition was held on January 20, 2024 at the NASA Gilruth Center (18600 Space Center Blvd, Houston, TX 77058)

     This year, we are happy to announce that the winning regional team is Fursa, represented by Al-Hadi School students! Congratulations!

    We wish the best of luck to Fursa as they head to the national competition being held in February in Washington D.C. from February 16th-21st!
