Her unique perspective and love of math have been enjoyed by many in her presentations around the nation. Don't miss her speaking engagement with UCTM on November 19!

 
Nature by Numbers

This new video by Cristóbal Vila beautifully illustrates how mathematical properties, such as the Fibonacci Sequence, are all around us in the natural world. We loved this awe inspiring combination of mathematics, nature, and art!

The Utah Mathematics Teacher is the official journal of the Utah Council of Teachers of Mathematics and is given to members of UCTM at the annual Fall Conference. The UMT is currently published once each year and contains a wide range of articles on issues in mathematics education at all levels.

Submission Guidelines
The UMT welcomes submissions from all members of the mathematics education community, not just UCTM members. K-12 classroom teachers are especially encouraged to submit articles for Voice From the Classroom.

Submission deadlines are as follows:

Issue Submission Deadline
Volume II, Issue 2 February 28, 2010
Volume III, Issue 1 TBD
