Education Societies

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics: This would be a society I would join because I want to be a math teacher and it would only be right if I'm in this society. Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School (MTMS) focuses on intuitive, exploratory investigations that use informal reasoning to help students develop a strong conceptual basis that leads to greater mathematical abstraction. This is exactly what I want my students to get out of my class. The three things this will do for me professionally is that I will have other teachers minds thinking in the same way to better the students, also all teachers will be on the same criteria, and having a better teaching society to help the stuents carry on their math experience and push them to continue on with the math concepts.
