Check out the February issue of the Illinois Math Teacher Journal!
The Illinois Math Teacher (IMT) has been the official journal of ICTM since the early 1970's! After a brief hiatus, we are excited to announce that the IMT has been relaunched so that Illinois math educators of all levels have a another great way to share their learning, lessons, and reflections with our broader community.  CLICK HERE to go to the new IMT webpage and access the February 2025 issue which contains four relevant and interesting articles titled: "The Skills Based Classroom: Rethinking Grades and Assessment", "Gathering Quality Evidence from Classroom Conversations", "Assessing Second Graders' Self-Perceptions and Enjoyment of Mathematics through a Blended Learning Math Mentorship with Teacher Candidates", and "An Example of the CRA Cycle Using Patty Paper in Teaching Geometry". Thank you to all of the authors!!!
