Do you have an idea for a mathematics activity that could interest young mathematics students? Is it within the reach of advanced fifth graders? Can it be extended to challenge sophomores or juniors in high school? Then we are looking for you!
The Editorial Panel of Student Explorations in Mathematics is seeking manuscripts to include in future issues. Please share your ideas with the audience of Student Explorations in Mathematics. We know that mathematics students respond to these interesting and challenging activities from their reactions to those that have previously been published.
What should you do? Put your ideas on paper, and send them to NCTM, where they will be directed to the Editorial Panel of Student Explorations in Mathematics. The panel considers all manuscripts received. If a manuscript has good potential, the panel puts it in final form. You will not have to do any rewriting; the panel takes your idea and develops it into a publishable article, but you get the credit.
When final, the article, including graphics and answers, should fit on approximately four pages. The first part of the manuscript should be accessible to advanced fifth graders. It should progress to challenge middle schoolers and students up through tenth or eleventh grade. Look at some past issues of Student Explorations in Mathematics to get a better idea of the format.
We want good ideas and activities to get into the hands of as many mathematics students as possible. With all the talent and creativity in NCTM's membership, we are certain that more can be done. Be a part of the process.
