Is There a Shoe Polish with Fluoride?

Johnny W. Lott
President Elect of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

The President Elect of NCTM is thrust into national issues almost from the time of the election announcement. This year the issues below have risen as challenges for NCTM and me.

Mathematics in Doctoral Education Programs?
Quantitative Literacy?
National Testing Programs?
Articulation Programs?
Scores of Minority Students?

How does one develop a response to these issues? Some of them could have implications for The University of Montana Department of Mathematical Sciences. What are the issues, and how will we respond?
