I was flipping channels and I saw the Math Counts logo! I did Math Counts when I was in 7th and 8th grade. It's sort of the spelling-bee's math equivalent (they were covering the nat'l competition on ESPN). Not nearly as well-known though. It actually brings back a few good memories of Jr. High. Our team won second place (I think) when I was in 7th grade. I'm sure the trophy is still floating around somewhere at my parent's house and I actually still have the playing cards they gave us too. Hehe. Interesting. I could do math in Jr. High. What the hell happened when I hit calculus in college??

I sucked at math – except for probability and stats. it is the only math that ever made sense to me!
Calc is a whole different ball of evil. Normal math makes sense. I empathize with you all the way.
I teach 7th grade math! And guess what I coach?
You got it – MATH COUNTS! It's a blast!
