One of the ways in which the National Council can contribute to the improvement of mathematics teaching is through the promotion of and participation in co-operative and constructive planning among teachers of mathematics and of other subjects and school administrators within a school system and on a county, state, regional, and national scale. The fact that National Council programs and many of our publications, as well as the programs and publications of the Affiliated Groups, are planned for teachers at all levels of instruction is continuing to assist in improved understanding among elementary, secondary, and college teachers of mathematics. In the May, 1951 number of The Mathematics Teacher a report was made on the co-operation and affiliation of the Affiliated Groups with education associations in the areas which they represent. The advantages which can come to the National Council through affiliation with the National Education Association will be reported on this page at a later date.
