Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM)

The Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) is the state-affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). The Council's rich history dates back to over 100 years ago, with a group of educators that called themselves the Association of Teachers of Mathematics of the Middle States and Maryland. This group of dedicated professionals met regularly and published a professional journal called The Mathematics Teacher, which is now jointly published by NCTM and AMTE and widely read by thousands of teachers worldwide.

In 1933, that group became one of the NCTM’s earliest affiliates and called themselves the Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM). MCTM is a public voice of mathematics education, inspiring vision, providing leadership, offering professional development, and supporting equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students. The Council's members represent all levels of mathematics educators, from preschool through college.
