Message From the TODOS President
Metaphors for Mathematics Classrooms: The Emergence of a Patchwork Quilt
For many educators across this place called North America the months of August and September are the beginning of a new school year. As we begin those new school years I invite you to think about the metaphors that you live in your practice as a mathematics educator. The metaphors that I use are greatly shaped by my stance as a human and the learnings that I’ve been taught. ... Go to the President's full message.

TEEM 13-1 Is Now Published
TEEM Volume 13, No. 1 is now available! This issue is Part 1 of a Special Issue on Antiracism in Mathematics Education. “The call for this special issue focused on antiracism in action. We built off of the TODOS 2020 statement, The Mo(ve)ment to Prioritize Antiracism in Mathematics, to ask for manuscripts sharing stories about what people in the field are grappling with in relation to themes from the position statement--what new learning is happening around antiracism in mathematics, and what may continue to be in tension or even in conflict.”
