About ICTM

The Iowa Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) is a state-wide organization solely dedicated to serving the needs of mathematics educators in Iowa. Hundreds of teachers - elementary, middle school, high school, and college - come together under the umbrella of ICTM to work together to ensure ALL students in Iowa receive a high-quality education in mathematics.

ICTM, an affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), is committed to promoting the improvement of mathematics education by providing professional development and networking opportunities at the Annual Conference and supporting members through travel, conference, and curriculum grants.

Mission

The Iowa Council of Teachers of Mathematics supports teachers in providing equitable, high-quality mathematics teaching and learning experiences for all Iowa students.

Vision

Iowa mathematics educators empower students to be productive and engaged citizens.

Equity Statement

Anti-racist and trauma-informed education not only raises our awareness of racism and trauma experienced by Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, and all marginalized peoples, but it also recognizes that we must be purposeful in addressing racism and trauma. In August 2017 Larson and Berry made several calls to the mathematics education community in their response to the unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia. In this message we renew these calls. As educators, teachers of mathematics, and a Council, we reiterate our position:

  • We support the use of mathematics as an analytic tool to challenge power, privilege, and oppression.
  • We encourage all educators to challenge systems of oppression that privilege some while disadvantaging others.
  • We encourage all educators to create socially and emotionally safe spaces for themselves, their students, and colleagues.

Fluency Statement

ICTM stands with NCTM on their position statement in regards to fluency.  

NCTM Position 

Procedural fluency is an essential component of equitable teaching and is necessary to developing mathematical proficiency and mathematical agency. Each and every student must have access to teaching that connects concepts to procedures, explicitly develops a reasonable repertoire of strategies and algorithms, provides substantial opportunities for students to learn to choose from among the strategies and algorithms in their repertoire, and implements assessment practices that attend to all components of fluency.  

To learn more, see the full statement with descriptions on NCTM's website.
