The Mathematics Teacher, an official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, is devoted to improving mathematics instruction from grade 8-14 and supporting teacher education programs. It provides a forum for sharing activities and pedagogical strategies, deepening understanding of mathematical ideas, and linking mathematics education research to practice. Mathematics Teacher solicits submissions from high school mathematics teachers, university mathematicians, and mathematics educators and strongly encourages manuscripts in which ideas relate to classroom practice. Manucscripts previously published in other journals, books or electronic venues are not acceptable. The journal's articles have won numerous awards, including honors from the Society of National Association Publications.

MT is published nine times a year, monthly August through May, with a combined December/January issue.
