Mentor groups will provide feedback to submitters in upcoming problems opening on these dates:

• PreAlgPoW, November 2 and 16
• FunPoW, November 9

Please have your students submit solutions. If they receive replies from a mentor, we hope you'll encourage them to revise. Not only will your students learn more, but the mentors will learn as well!

Launched this month, the refereed journal Teaching for Excellence and Equity in Mathematics (TEEM) will be published at least once yearly by TODOS: Mathematics for ALL, and available via membership in TODOS. The intended audience of this journal is educators, leaders, administrators, and practitioners at all levels.

TEEM seeks submissions that

• delve simultaneously into excellence and equity
• connect research to classroom practice
• directly inform the practice of teachers or professional developers
• align with the mission of TODOS: to advocate for an equitable and high quality mathematics education for all students--in particular, Hispanic/Latino students--by increasing the equity awareness of educators and their ability to foster students' proficiency in rigorous and coherent mathematics.

See a sample from the debut issue here:
