National Council

The National Council has long been interested in the field of arithmetic both in the elementary schools and in the secondary schools. The national and regional meetings of the Council featured discussions of arithmetic and these programs have been very well attended. The Tenth and Sixteenth Yearbooks were devoted to arithmetic and these proved to be among the most popular of the yearbooks.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is a national organization of mathematics teachers in elementary and secondary schools. Its purpose is the promotion and stimulation of better teaching of mathematics. The National Council operates chiefly through three divisions of its organization; namely, The Mathematics Teacher, The Year Book, and the annual meeting of its members and board of directors.

Achievement In Mathematics

Today, most school districts are increasingly being held accountable for the quality of their programs. The Toronto Board of Education, which has 114 elementary schools with approximately 41,000 students and 39 secondary schools with approximately 30,000 students, is no exception. In May 1987, the board mandated the development of s tandards for students' achievement in mathematics and language at the end of grades 3, 6, 8, and 10. Until this time no systemwide testing or standards had existed. Guidelines had been established for evaluating students and reporting to parents, but schools and teachers were left to work out their own procedures.

Mathematics Educators

Most mathematics educators are involved in the practice of teacher education at some level. Indeed, the field of mathematics education is predicated on the assumption that someone has to be educated to teach mathematics in our schools. This raises the question of what it means to be educated in o rder to become a teacher of mathematics. What kinds of knowledge do teachers need to become effective teachers of mathematics? What sorts of experiences are needed for teachers to acquire this knowledge? A fundamental question for mathematics teacher educators is how the field of teacher education can be conceptualized so that programs and activities can be created to assist in the acquisition of this knowledge. Given the high visibility of standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) (NCTM, 1988, 1991, in press), a question of interest to many is, What does it take to develop teachers who can move the field toward realizing these standards?

Annual Publication

The annual publication of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in the Middle States and Maryland became a quarterly journal called the Mathematics Teacher in 1908. W. H. Metzler, a professor at Syracuse University, served as its editor from its inception until it became the official journal of the newly formed National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in January 1921, with J. R. Clark as the new editor. In 1921, the present monthly schedule of publication for the school year was adopted.

The Individual

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics needs the individual support of two groups of teachers of mathematics who are not members. The first group consists of those teachers who, according to their own testimony, have never heard of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics or The Mathematics Teacher, to say nothing of the yearbooks published annually by the Council. If anyone doubts that the situation is serious, let him travel about the country and talk to groups of teachers. It will soon be obvious that some vigorous missionary work needs to be done. Surely no meeting of mathematics teachers of any importance should be held anywhere without someone's giving at least a short description of the work that the Council is trying to do and what a teacher needs to do to become a member of the organization. If reports that come to the office of The Mathematics Teacher are true, many meetings of mathematics teachers are held and not one word is said about the magazine or the yearbooks, and no one is urged to join the Council. The office of The Mathematics Teacher will gladly send subscription blanks describing the work of the Council to anyone who is interested enough in the work we are trying to do to write us about them.

Low Ability

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, at the Washington meeting, authorized the organization of a Committee on Individual Differences which was instructed to investigate the matters of ability grouping, differentiated curriculums, and the like. To avoid a useless and expensive duplication of effort, it seemed desirable that this assignment be assumed by an existing committee operating under the direction of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools known as the Committee on Unit Courses in Mathematics for Students of Low Ability. It seemed that it would be much better from every angle to have the National Council and the North Central Association cooperate in this difficult but crucial investigation.
