NCTM publishes three official journals. All are available in print and online versions. Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12.According to the NCTM, this journal "reflects the current practices of mathematics education, as well as maintaining a knowledge base of practice and policy in looking at the future of the field.
Mathematician George F. Simmons wrote in the algebra section of his book Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell (1981) that the New Math produced students who had "heard of the commutative law, but did not know the multiplication table." [205] By the early 1970s, this movement was defeated. Nevertheless, some of the ideas it promoted still lived on.
The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics was developed by the NCTM. The NCTM's stated intent was to improve mathematics education. The contents were based on surveys of existing curriculum materials, curricula and policies from many countries, educational research publications, and government agencies such as the U.S. National Science Foundation.

[3] In addition to promoting equality in instruction, they stated that by unifying courses of study, school instruction and the training of new teachers could be greatly simplified. These recommendations were generally interpreted as a call to teach English, mathematics, and history or civics to every student every academic year in high school ...
In the United States there has been general cooling of the "Math wars" during the first decade of the 21st century as reform organizations such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and national committees, such as the National Mathematics Advisory Panel convened by George W. Bush, have concluded that elements of both traditional ...
A student council (also known as a student union, associated student body or student parliament) is an administrative organization of students in different educational institutes ranging from elementary schools to universities and research organizations around the world.
A college student just solved a seemingly paradoxical math problem—and the answer came from an incredibly unlikely place.
Student teaching is a crucial part of a teacher candidate's path to becoming a teacher. Recommended reform in mathematics teacher education includes a focus on learning to anticipate, elicit, and use students’ mathematical thinking as the primary goal, as opposed to models with an over-emphasis on classroom management and survival.
