ALABAMA COUNCIL of

TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS 1970-present

PURPOSES 1. To encourage an active interest in mathematics 2. To improve the teaching of mathematics at all levels 3. To encourage higher qualifications of mathematics teachers 4. To promote a spirit of cooperation and professional ethics 5. To influence a continuous development of a mathematics curriculum 6. To promote participation in mathematics clubs, Mu Alpha Theta

Chapters and mathematics tournaments for students. Map and Alphabetical List of Counties show division of state into Districts, each managed by a Director serving usually a two-year term.

PURPOSES of the DISTRICTS I. To coordinate activities at local levels 2. To encourage membership in ACTM and NCTM 3. To plan and implement in-service workshops for mathematics teachers 4. To plan and implement district 4oumaments for students 5. To represent the district in state planning sessions

District Organizations District organization in ACTM was informal during years 1964-1969. Districts followed the pattern of Alabama Education Association of congressional districts, which was changed during that time. New district IV (old district V), Jefferson and Shelby Counties began meetings and workshops held each fall. Not all districts had meetings or elected directors of record until those listed under 1969-70.

ALABAMA STATE MATHEMATICS CONTEST In 1979, plans for an Alabama High School Mathematics Contest were initiated by ACTM

and AACTM as joint sponsors and Gary Harper, Mathematics Supervisor of the Birmingham Public Schools, as chairman. It was designed to extend appeal of existing competitions to a wider segment of good mathematics students. The first contest took place during the Spring of 1981. It involved only a comprehensive division with plans to include Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry and Eighth Grade Mathematics in future contests.

Purposes of Mathematics Contest--Quoted from Contest Flyer

1) To stimulate interest in mathematics by encouraging more students to include mathematics in their program of study, and thereby to raise the level of mathematical competence in the state of Alabama.

2) To honor those students who are outstanding in their knowledge of mathematics through appropriate public recognition in their schools in their communities.

The Contest is conducted as an academic festival where students represent their school in competition with others at a nearby testing center. These students compete with each other for preeminence in their District. Then selected students compete for recognition at the state level.

Yearly--Written Contests in Districts

State Ciphering Matches in a central location.

2001-02 (cont.) AMSTI—Alabama Mathematics, Science, and Technology Initiative AMSTI is an initiative to improve mathematics and science education across the state of Alabama. It provides students with well-trained teachers and the equipment, materials, and resources needed for hands-on, activity-based, math and science education. AMSTI has been endorsed by: The Alabama Board of Education The Alabama Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ACTM) The Alabama Science Teachers Association (ASTA) The Alabama Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education Coalition (AMSTEC) The Alabama Department of Education June, 2002 ACTM was contacted to help defray the cost of AMSTI banners for each ;of the 21 schools participating during the summer. The ACTM Executive Board voted “yes” to spending $750 on the AMSTI banners for the summer of 2002. It was to have “ACTM” printed somewhere on the banner. This did not happen.
