Outstanding Mathematics Education Students
In an effort to encourage student enjoyment of mathematics and mathematics education, NCCTM recognizes outstanding mathematics education students at colleges and universities across the state. Each college and university with a teacher education program may nominate one rising junior or senior working towards elementary, middle school, or secondary certification.
One student is selected from each region, and the winning students are invited to attend the State Mathematics Conference in October where they are recognized and receive their awards.
Deadline for Nominations: May 30 each year
Two forms should be submitted for each nomination, one by the student nominee and one by the Department Chair or Program Coordinator.
Materials may be submitted electronically to Ana Floyd, Asheboro City Schools [afloyd@asheboro.k12.nc.us].. Please include the nominee's name in the subject line.
