Articles being accepted for new Journal for Math Circles

MTCircular is excited to announce a new peer-reviewed, open-access journal. The Journal of Math Circles (JMC) publishes high-quality, practitioner-focused articles documenting best practices for outreach and professional development in alignment with Math Circle core values: using worthwhile mathematical tasks, fostering problem-solving habits of mind, and building communities of mathematical thinkers and problem solvers. The journal was created in response to the increased engagement of mathematics professionals in scholarly thought and action around Math Circles over the past decade. Articles are authored by and for mathematics professionals, including K-12 teachers, who organize a wide range of community-responsive programs for K-12 students and teachers across the country. JMC publishes a minimum of one issue per year with special issues on themed topics. Email JMC’s founding Editors-in-Chief, Emilie Hancock and Brandy Wiegers of Central Washington University to learn more.
