We are pleased to report to readers that the extremely positive response to Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School (MTMS) and the growing backlog of accepted manuscripts have allowed us to boost our frequency of publications from four to five issues per year, beginning with this school year. The next five issues will complete the first volume and will appear as the following: September-October, November-December, january-February, March-April, and May. As of 1 May 1995. our records show that just over 30 000 members are currently receiving MTMS. These numbers tell us That this burgeoning group of professionals involved in middle-grades mathematics needs such a journal. We on the Editorial Panel will continue working to offer the quality product that readers have come to expect and will continue to seek out your feedback and suggestions for improvement, not to mention your manuscripts and ideas. As our manuscript backlog grows, we will consider increasing our publishing frequency again, working our way up to the nine issues per year that matches the output of NTCM's other fine journals, Teaching Children Mathematics and the Mathematics Teacher.

NCTM Proudly Announces the Arrival of its newest journal, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. In so doing, we have increased the already impressive lineup of professional mathematics publications dedicated to the CTM's principles and standards. Aspects that make this journal so exciting are its focus and emphasis on the middle school teacher and student. The Editorial Panel has worked hard to address the interests and needs of the many classroom teachers who have offered their feedback, both as a result of several surveys and as a result of the “Call for Manuscripts” announcement that appeared in both the Arithmetic Teacher and the Mathematics Teacher.

Readers of Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School (MTMS) will be receiving their journal one week later than usual, beginning with the October 2001 issue. Readers of Teaching Children Mathematics (TCM) will be receiving that journal one week earlier. Because of the timeliness of editorial material in TCM, the Journals staff has decided to switch the schedules of those two journals. The Mathematics Teacher will continue to mail at the same time.

The Editorial Panel of Mathematics Teaching in Middle School is aware of the importance of assessment practices as they relate to mathematics content and instructional practices in the middle school classroom. The Panel invites readers to submit either full-length manuscripts or classroom examples exemplifying assessment practices that allow students to demonstrate both what they know and what they can do with their knowledge, as in the lead article by De A. Tonack in this issue. We especially invite responses from middle school classroom teachers. Please feel free to submit ideas beyond those suggested here.

The authors, editors, Editorial Panel members, and staff who work on the NCTM school journals—Teaching Children Mathematics, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, and Mathematics Teacher—continually strive to meet readers' needs. To determine how well we all succeed, we gather feedback every three years through a reader survey and accompanying focus groups. Two such inquiries have been performed to date by an outside consulting firm, Stratton Publishing & Marketing/ Stratton Research. For the most recent (2011) survey, we invited 3000 readers of each journal to participate; the effective mailing was 8457. For all three journals, the response rate averaged 26.4%, which is higher than for many other journals. Responses were calculated at the 95% confidence level with the average margin of error around ±3.5%.

Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School has a new look! What an exciting way to start the new year! Whether you are a student, a teacher, or an administrator, we all get excited about beginning a new school year. Students get a new book bag, fun school supplies, and perhaps new clothes and new hairstyles. Teachers and administrators have worked all summer preparing new lessons, securing and organizing resources, and planning for the new school year. Everyone at NCTM working with MTMS has been busy, as well. You will find updated fonts, new layout styles, additional focused departments, and more ways to address the teaching and learning of mathematics in the classroom.

AN EXCITING YEAR IS IN STORE FOR Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School (MTMS): with this fifth volume, we reach our full complement of nine issues! And with the ninth issue comes an additional opportunity to serve you–our readers–by presenting more articles that address your needs as middle-grades-mathematics educators. For those who first conceived of this journal for the middle grades, for the first Editorial Panel that launched it, and for the subsequent panels that have continued to shape and nurture it, this volume is the culmination of much thought and effort. The years of development to a nine-issue volume have been richly rewarded by the involvement and enthusiasm of you–our readers.

O presente trabalho é fruto de minha pesquisa desenvolvida ao longo do curso de Especialização em Educação do Campo Agricultura Familiar e Currículo, Instituto Federal do Pará (IFPA), Campus Rural Marabá. A pesquisa teve como objetivo discutir minha experiência como professor de matemática na escola Carlos Marighella, a partir de narrativas constituídas por memórias evocadas, considerando a perspectiva da Etnomatemática. A mesmas foi realizada na Escola M.E.F. Carlos Marighella, localizada no assentamento 26 de março no município de Marabá – Pará. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de uma experiência desenvolvida com a turma de 4º ano do ensino fundamental, tendo como base o ano letivo de 2019. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como autobiográfica, tendo as minhas narrativas como professor de matemática. Como constituição de dados, assim como a memória de experiências pessoais e profissionais como elemento basilar de investigação. Como pressuposto, este estudo estabelece o ideário que memória do narrador (reconstrutiva da significação de suas vivências) e os instrumentos de análise e interpretação do pesquisador são elementos que se imbricam e complementam para melhor compreensão de dimensões da realidade autobiográfica pesquisada, tanto na perspectiva pessoal/social do narrador, como na perspectiva contextual da atuação do professor como  produto/produtor de conhecimento sobre ensino de matemática na perspectiva da Etnomatemática. Para tanto tomo como base teórica D’Ambrósio que me ajuda a compreender a Etnomatemática; Knijink que me ajuda a articular educação popular e a Etnomatemática, e Bosi (1979) e Grazzition (2016) que me fundamentam sobre discutir minhas memórias como produção de conhecimentos. Como resultados mostro como fotografias são evocadores de minhas memórias e têm o potencial de me subsidiar na interpretação de minha experiência como professor de matemática.   The present work is the result of my research developed during the course of Specialization in Education of the Field, Family Agriculture and Curriculum, Instituto Federal do Pará (IFPA), Campus Rural Marabá. The research aimed at discussing my experience as a mathematics teacher at Carlos Marighella school, from narratives constituted by evoked memories, considering the Ethnomathematics perspective. It was carried out at Escola M.E.F. Carlos Marighella, located in the 26 de Março settlement in the municipality of Marabá - Pará. The research was developed from an experience developed with the 4th grade class of elementary school, based on the 2019 school year. This research is characterized as autobiographical, having my narratives as a mathematics teacher. As data constitution, as well as the memory of personal and professional experiences as the basic element of investigation. As an assumption, this study establishes the idea that the narrator's memory (reconstructive of the meaning of his experiences) and the researcher's instruments of analysis and interpretation are elements that intertwine and complement each other for a better understanding of the dimensions of the autobiographical reality researched, both from the narrator's personal/social perspective and from the contextual perspective of the teacher's performance as a product/producer of knowledge about mathematics teaching from the perspective of Ethnomathematics. To this end, I take as my theoretical basis D'Ambrósio, who helps me to understand Ethnomathematics; Knijink, who helps me to articulate popular education and Ethnomathematics, and Bosi (1979) and Grazzition (2016), who support me in discussing my memories as a production of knowledge. As results I show how photographs are evocative of my memories and have the potential to subsidize me in interpreting my experience as a mathematics teacher.
