The Illinois Math Teacher (IMT) has been the official journal of ICTM since the early 1970's!

Thank you to all of the authors!!!

ICTM Leaders Active in ISBE's New Comprehensive Numeracy Plan
Recently, ISBE launched plans for the development of a statewide numeracy plan to boost student learning in math. A Numeracy Plan Summit was held on June 3, at the Bone Student Center at Illinois State University. The summit brought together a wide variety of stakeholders, including educators, education leaders, higher education faculty, community organizations, nonprofit advocates, and policymakers. The event focused on identifying the essential components of a statewide numeracy plan and fostering collaboration across sectors. Craig Cullen (ICTM President) was one of the key speakers for the day, speaking about the State Lens on Numeracy: From Literacy to Numeracy. Other ICTM leaders present included Shanteau Allen, Lily Zandnia, and Toni Galassini (pictured below).
