Welcome to NCCTM Online!

The North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) is the professional organization in North Carolina of all persons responsible for the teaching of mathematics. Its membership includes teachers from all levels, kindergarten through graduate school, and other professionals who work with curriculum and materials for the teaching of mathematics. You'll find out more about NCCTM through the website, including state and regional conferences, publications, grants and awards, and other professional activities.

NCCTM Board of Directors

The 2013 State Mathematics Conference (October 31-November 1, 2013) is a wonderful opportunity to share research, classroom strategies, activities, and resources with your colleagues that make mathematics come alive for your students. Take the time to fill out the online Speaker form and be a part of this annual professional development opportunity. Encourage colleagues to present as well. Deadline for proposals is May 30.

If you have questions, contact Sheila Brookshire at sheila.brookshire@bcsemail.org.

Submission of Manuscripts

We invite the submission of news, announcements, and articles useful to school mathematics teachers or mathematics teacher educators. In particular, K-12 teachers are encouraged to submit articles describing teaching mathematical content in innovative ways.
News and announcements (president's messages, award winner announcements, professional development announcements, etc.) must be received by December 1 for the spring issue and by July 1 for the fall issue. Articles that have not been published before and are not under review elsewhere may be submitted at any time to the address below. Submit one electronic copy via email attachment (preferred) or diskette in Microsoft Word or rich text file format. To allow for blind review, the author's name and contact information should appear only on a separate title page. Manuscripts should not exceed 10 pages double-spaced with one-inch margins. Figures and other pictures should be included in the document in line with the text (not as floating objects). Scannable photos are acceptable and should be large glossy prints mailed to the editor or minimum 300 dpi tiff files emailed to the editor. Proof of the photographer's permission is required. For photos of students, parent or guardian permission is required.
Manuscripts should follow APA style guidelines from the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. References should be listed at the end of the article, and should also follow APA style.
General articles and teacher activities are welcome, as are the following special categories of articles:

• A Teacher's Story
• History Corner
• Teaching with Technology,
• It's Elementary!
• Math in the Middle
• Algebra for Everyone
