Even as this issue of the Mathematics Teacher is different, we expect all issues of volume 66 to have a new aspect. There is a different color, a different format, but more important, a different emphasis, As mathematics teachers, the members of the Editorial Panel are aware of the need of NCTM memhers for help in meeting classroom problems. Our de-termination to meet this need is expressed by our new statement of the purpose of this journal, namely, “The Mathematics Teacher is devoted to the improvement of mathematics instruction in the junior high schools, senior high schools, two-year colleges, and teacher-education colleges.”
