Catalyzing Change

  • Catalyzing Change Banner



    Our students need mathematics to make sense of their world and increase their opportunities. As teachers, administrators, and education leaders, each and every student is counting on us, our policies, and our practices to support them, support their learning, and develop them as doers of mathematics.

    NCTM has embarked on a comprehensive look at mathematics education from K-12. This involved administrators, higher education faculty, educators, and leaders in mathematics education. The results of this work address policies, practices, and issues and include practical recommendations to help create positive change.

    NCTM’s Catalyzing Change series looks to help you engage in critical conversations and create positive change.
