National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
I first got interested in this organization when I was getting my Masters in Elementary Education. I presented at a mini session for integrating technology into the mathematics curriculum. While preparing for my session, I referenced several articles and journals on this site.
This classroom resource has many sections to it. The content of the website is dedicated specifically to mathematics. The subject matter consisted of journals and books on a variety of mathematical topics that range from elementary to higher education. This site is very helpful to those looking for clarity or various viewpoints on mathematics. With the mathematical curriculum gearing itself to common core standards that will be recognized nationwide not just statewide, lesson plans and resources are provided. To look at the majority of the journals presented, you have to be a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The journals that are available range from average teachers to knowledgeable professors that have researched many topics in great detail. Information on professional development opportunities are listed on the website for those interested in expanded their background knowledge. Helpful resources, for families that want to help their students improve in a specific area, are also available for observation. One of the links that is associated with this website is illuminations.nctm.org. I can say from experience that this link has been very helpful to me also as an educator. For novice or experienced teachers, teaching tips are given because as an educator of any subject, learning the new trends in instructional techniques is an on-going process for a facilitator of education.
