BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION: Teaching Children Mathematics: New (School) Year Resolutions

The Editorial Panel of Teaching Children Mathematics (TCM) welcomes you to volume 12 and invites you to take an active role in our community of mathematics educators. Once again, we offer you an August issue to begin the school year. Continuing this new publishing schedule is just one indication of how committed we are to bringing you timely and informative articles and ideas. As always, the volume 12 publishing calendar will include nine issues, one each month from August through May, with a combined December/January issue. We will also offer the annual focus issue in October. This year, the theme is “Posing and Solving Problems.” Throughout the volume year, TCM will support NCTM's yearlong professional development focus, “Assessing to Learn and Learning to Assess.” A special icon on the table of contents will signify related articles and departments.
