A group of preservice teachers from Eastern Kentucky University will provide feedback to submitters in the Pre-Algebra problem opening on March 29.

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!

The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching are the nation's highest honor for teachers of mathematics. The Awards recognize exemplary K-12 teachers for their contributions in the classroom and to their profession.

Principals, teachers, students, parents, members of the community, or the general public may nominate a teacher. Self-nominations are not accepted. Nominations are due April 1.

Once nominated, a teacher must complete an application to be considered for the award. The application includes a videotaped lesson and written responses to questions about the teacher's instructional practice. Applications from nominated teachers are due May 3.

Nominate outstanding elementary (grades K-6) teachers now for the 2010 awards. Nominations for secondary school teachers (grades 7-12) will be accepted next year.
