MCTM Annual Meeting 2015
The MCTM Annual Meeting was
held this year during the MEA-MFT Teachers Convention in Billings, Montana on
October 15th at Skyview High School.
A huge Thank You
was given to the MCTM program chairs for the MEA-MFT conference, John George
and Mary Ellen Fisher. John and Mary put in countless hours to make sure that
the MEA-MFT Teachers Conference ran smoothly. For David
Erikson’s dedication to mathematics education in the state of Montana he was
awarded and recognized as the 2015 winner of the Dean Preble Award. The MCTM Math
Contest was a huge success this year with students from across the state
participating taking three tests at their regional test sites. MCTM awarded
twenty $200 scholarships for regional winners and two $500 scholarships for our
statewide winners.
