Curriculum focal points (2006) identifies three important topics at each grade level from pre-k12 and is the next step in implementing the standards. Principles to actions: ensuring mathematical success for all (2015) describes the principles and actions that are essential for a high-quality mathematics education for all students. Nctm's three-book series, catalyzing change, identifies the vexing issues that have long plagued mathematics education in pre-k and elementary grades, middle school, and high school. High school mathematics reimagined, revitalized, and relevant (2024) provides a thoughtful and practical guide for educators, school district leaders, and policymakers to rethink and restructure high school mathematics by emphasizing the development of mathematical and statistical processes. Nctm also publishes three peer-reviewed journals covering all grade bands.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of NATIONAL COUNCIL OF TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 83% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $102k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
