Mathematics Council Newsletter

From the Editor

This is the last issue of the Mathematics Council Newsletter as we know it. We are looking for­ward to some interesting changes in September ­many diligent souls are already collecting information for the first issue’s focus “Effective Communication in Mathematics.”

As always, the success of any council’s publication depends on the contribution of the council member­ship. We hope that you and your colleagues will be prepared to contribute articles, successful classroom ideas, interesting thoughts for the day or anything else that could interest our readers. I know you have many worthwhile contributions. Do give it some thought over the summer.

My last editorial stressed the need for continued professional development for each and every one of us. With that in mind, I encourage you to organize a miniconference in your area, attend the NCTM Regional Conference and the Mathematics Council’s annual conference in October and renew your MCATA membership. Also, an NCTM membership provides access to many excellent materials which will make teaching your students mathematics more interesting and enjoyable.

Oops!

In the Volume 12, Number 4, April 1994 issue of the Newsletter, the photo on page 3 was not of the MCATA executive members at the Thinkers’ Conference. It was of delegates and presenters attending the Edmonton miniconference on November 8, 1993, at M.E. Lazerte School

Thought for the Day

The best inheritance teachers can give their students is a few precious minutes of their time each day.

Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too tired to worry at night.
