Danielle Moloney

"My experiences at the Annual Meeting were beyond what I could have imagined. I left the conference feeling energized, inspired, and challenged. The presenters were dynamic and shared ideas that I can immediately implement within my classroom. However, they also pushed me to consider issues of equity within our schools and ways in which we can improve our practice as educators to ensure equal access to content and the future success of all of our students."

Adam Presler

"Most importantly, I expect to soon receive my Minnesota teaching license as I have taken and passed my licensure exams and all required course work….”

Prospective 7-12 Secondary Teacher Course Work Scholarship

Anne Barbour

"NCTM has fueled my fire to have access and equity for each and every student in my classroom and grade level to have rich mathematical experiences to deepen mathematical understanding."

Improving Students' Understanding of Geometry Grants

Samrat Pathania

"The courses helped me broaden my understanding of the field of geometry and gain insights into how mathematicians engage in original research work. They provided me with a prolonged opportunity to practice the skills of deductive reasoning that must help my own students learn."
