Math Energy History and Purpose

        Math Energy is a pre-service teacher organization which meets monthly to give our members the opportunity to hear various professionals speak on math related topics. Math Energy focuses on hands-on techniques to teach math. All grade levels and abilities are explored at our meetings.

 

        In 1991 Math Energy Club was established at Eastern Illinois University. In the Fall of 1992 Math Energy became an Affiliate Group of ICTM and received our Affiliate Group charter from NCTM at the 1994 NCTM Meeting at Indianapolis.

 

        In 1998 Math Energy produced a video about the club and how other schools can start their own Math Energy Club. In 1999 the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics distributed this video to all the Regional Representatives of NCTM. The tape and accompanying materials are available from NCTM.
