Academics
As the major component of its Morgan Hill community outreach, Morgan Hill Math provides coaches and extra-curricular math enrichment programs for students enrolled in 4th through 12th grades. Our math enrichment programs in Morgan Hill include:
MATHCOUNTS
MATHCOUNTS is a national middle school competitive math program. Students focus on complex problems, methodologies and challenging the mind. Advanced problem solving techniques are tested at School, Chapter, State, and National competitions. Please see www.mathcounts.org for more information about the national MATHCOUNTS organization.
Morgan Hill Math has provided MATHCOUNTS coaches for Morgan Hill’s students enrolled in 7th and 8th grades since 2004. Students participate in a weekly program starting in September. In January, a subset of students from each school is selected to participate in the Chapter competition in February. Teams and students excelling at the Chapter competition advance to the Northern California State competition. Since 2006, Morgan Hill teams and/or individual students have advanced to the State MATHCOUNTS competition. AIM also provides students the opportunity to compete in another national math competition, the AMC8, produced by the Mathematical Association of America (see www.maa.org).
Participation in MATHCOUNTS puts the middle school student on a firm footing for both the near future (such as excelling on the math section of the PSAT and SAT) and for longer term goals, including being successful in the many fields of study where problem solving is key.
Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students who live or attend school in Morgan Hill and are strong math students are invited to attend this free, challenging program.
All interested students are welcome to participate!
MATHCOUNTS Registration for the 2026-2027 school year
If you have any questions, please email Morgan Hill Math program director Kelley Barnes: kbarnes@aimath.org.
Math Olympiad
Morgan Hill Math students may participate in the international Math Olympiad contest. During each of five once-a-month sessions, students take a five question, thirty minute, Math Olympiad quiz, with the instructor reviewing the problem solutions during the remaining half hour of class. Sample quizzes can be found at www.moems.org. The Elementary School Division is for 4th through 6th graders while the Middle School Division is for 6th through 8th graders.
Our 2026-2027 program will start in November 2026 and end in March 2027. Selected students from our Morgan Hill Math programs will be invited to attend based on the outstanding interest, capacity and behavior that they demonstrate in our fall programs. There will be a donation request for students to compete in this contest.
AMC Contests
The MAA is Empowering the Next Generation of Problem Solvers
The AMC program is more than just a competition; it’s a national effort to strengthen the mathematical capabilities of our next generation of innovators. By challenging students with engaging problems, the AMC sets the stage for lifelong mathematical exploration, discovery, and achievement. Calling all middle and high school students looking to engage in an exciting problem-solving experience! Challenge yourself and improve your mathematical abilities by taking the AMC 8, the AMC 10, and/or the AMC 12, depending on your grade level.
