Summary of Recent Affiliate Accomplishments and Upcoming Activities: 

(MAT)^2 met virtually in April 2020 to discuss ways to streamline efforts across multiple mathematics education organizations in Missouri. We also discussed the possibility of making an elementary education mathematics pathway to help with transferability of mathematics content courses for elementary education majors.

(MAT)^2 has two meetings annually. One is in the spring, and one is in the winter in conjunction with the Missouri Council of Teachers of Mathematics annual conference.
