Another school year is well on its way. Vacation clays, with their many pleasant memories, have receded into the past—replaced by days and weeks of work and initial achievement. Plans for your new year are doubtless already being materialized and promise much in educational service through cooperative endeavor with those around you. National Council gives you its best wishes for the most successful and satisfying year in your professional experience.

The Given

Abstract The project presented here deals with a typical human means of communication – writing. The aim of the project is to map the developmental dynamics of handwriting from the first to the fifth grade of primary school. The question remains topical because of the fact that several systems of writing have been used in the past few years. Our project focuses on comparing the systems of joined-up handwriting (the standard Latin alphabet) and the most widespread form of printed handwriting: Comenia Script. The research can be marked as sectional; pupils took a writing exam at the beginning and at the end of the 2015/2016 school year. The total number of respondents was 624 pupils, evenly distributed according to the school year, system of writing and gender. To evaluate handwriting, the evaluation scale of Veverková and Kucharská (2012) was adjusted to include a description of phenomena related to graphomotor and grammatical aspects of writing, including the overall error rate and work with errors. Each area that was observed included a series of indicators through which it was possible to create a comprehensive image of the form handwriting took in the given period. Each indicator was independently classified on a three-point scale. Thanks to that, a comprehensive image of the form of writing of a contemporary pupil emerged.

This chapter is written by a second-grade teacher who gives a personal account for remote teaching during quarantine and the 2020 - 2021 school year. The equity and diversity of various situations involved during the past year are discussed throughout the chapter: from the beginning of quarantine 2020 to the end of the school year in May 2021. Remote teaching, social and emotional factors, and the diversity of families are also addressed. The chapter is dedicated to Jordan Lea Darnell, a teacher who lost her battle to COVID-19 in the Spring of 2021.

The Past

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) is committed to strengthening relations between research and practice and to the development of a coherent knowledge base that is usable in practice. The fifth of NCTM's strategic priorities states, “Bring existing research into the classroom, and identify and encourage research that addresses the needs of classroom practice” (NCTM, 2008). The need to work toward connection and coherence is not unique to the field of mathematics education. Fields such as medicine (e.g., Clancy, 2007), software engineering (e.g., Gorschek, Garre, Larsson, & Wohlin, 2006), and social work (e.g., Hess & Mullen, 1995) routinely attend to these issues. Researchers in many fields strive to find new ways or to engage more effectively through existing means to enhance coherence and connection. In a sense, this is not a goal that can be achieved definitively, but one that requires persistent engagement. In education, the constant flux of variables in the system, such as curriculum, goals for student learning, and school contexts, requires that new connections between research and practice be investigated and that old connections be reexamined. Changes in educational contexts open new territory in need of study and also challenge the coherence of explanations grounded in previous research. In this way, attention of the field to connection and coherence is neither unique to mathematics education nor an effort due solely to inadequacies of research efforts in the past.

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.

References to instances of and the desirability of cooperation between secondary school and college teachers of mathematics have appeared on this Page several times in the past eighteen months. The National Council wishes to encourage these activities in every way possible. As a means of doing this and, more importantly, of bringing to a wider audience some sound recommendations on this problem, this Page is given to excerpts from a Report of a committee of the Illinois Section of the Association. The Report was presented to the Illinois Section May 9, 1953. Members of the Committee which prepared the Report were: Franz E. Hohn, University of Illinois, Chairman; Mary Entsminger, Laboratory School, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale; Martha Hildebrandt, Proviso Township High School, Maywood; Alice Seybold, North Central College, Naperville; and Henry Swain, New Trier Township High School, Winnetka.

Modern Mathematics

In the past two decades several influential organizations, including the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (1978), NACOME (1975), UNESCO (1972), CEEB (1959), and the Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics (1963), have acknowledged the role that probability and statistics play in our society. Consequently, each has recommended that probability and statistics be included as part of the modern mathematics curriculum.
