Please review the information below, as the registration and team-organization processes are different for the two programs.
1. MATHCOUNTS 3–5 (MC345) Pilot Program
Colvin Run Elementary School has been invited to participate in the MATHCOUNTS 3–5 pilot program for students in Grades 3–5. Registration is now open for CRES students in Grades 3–5 who are interested in participating in the MATHCOUNTS 3–5 pilot program.
The program will include three pilot events during the 2026–2027 school year.
The first event is scheduled as follows:
- Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026
- Time:1:30–3:30 p.m.
- Check-in begins at 1:30 p.m.
- Competition begins at 2:00 p.m.
- Location: Thoreau Middle School
2505 Cedar Lane, Vienna, VA 22180 - Format: Teams of four students for each grade
- Eligibility: CRES students in Grades 3–5
Two additional MC345 pilot events are planned for spring 2027, although the dates have not yet been announced. Our goal is to give each interested student an opportunity to participate in at least one of the three events.
One CRES teacher has also offered to host a practice session at CRES before or after school. Practice details will be shared after registration and team arrangements are confirmed.

Families have two registration options:
- Team registration: Parents may form and register a team. A full team normally consists of four students and must have an adult coach.
- Solo registration: A student who does not yet have a team may register as a solo registrant. MAMTS will try to place solo registrants onto teams on a best-efforts basis.
Please note that solo registration does not mean individual competition. All students will ultimately participate as members of teams. [mamts.org], [mamts.org]
Unlike MC345, MAMTS participation will not be registered, sponsored, or coordinated through the CRES PTO. Interested parents will independently organize teams, select an adult coach, complete registration, and arrange any team practices.
If your child is interested in MAMTS, please fill out this interest form https://forms.gle/H9tmi12oJedUP7W48, so we can help families connect, organize teams, and coordinate registration and practices directly. Families may also register through the MAMTS solo-registration option if they are unable to form a team.
