Current Edition: Spring 2017

The Banneker Banner is the official journal of the Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics and is sent to all and only members of the organization. The journal is named after Benjamin Banneker, a Maryland native and perhaps the first documented African-American mathematician. The Banner is published twice each year and contains a wide range of articles on issues in mathematics education at all levels. Articles published in the journal must be submitted to the editor and undergo a peer review process. The Banner also accepts advertising from companies that provide goods or services we feel may be of interest to our members. Advertising in the Banner reaches hundreds of mathematics educators in Maryland and is very affordable.
Submission Guidelines: The Banner welcomes submissions from all members of the mathematics education community, not just MCTM members.  To submit an article, please attach a Microsoft Word document to an email addressed to graybeal@hood.edu with “Banneker Banner Article Submission” in the subject line.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, and a maximum of 8 pages.  APA format should be used throughout the manuscript with references listed at the end. Figures, tables, and graphs should be embedded in the manuscript.  As the Banner uses a blind review process, no author identification should appear on manuscripts.  Please include a cover letter containing author(s) name(s) and contact information.  If electronic submission is not possible, please contact the editor to make other arrangements. You will receive confirmation of receipt of your article within a few days, and will hear about the status of your article as soon as possible. Articles are sent out to other mathematics educators for anonymous review, and this process often takes several months. If you have questions about the status of your article during this time, please feel free to contact the editor. Please note that photographs of students require signed releases to be published; if your article is accepted, a copy of the release will be sent to you and it will be your responsibility to get the appropriate signatures. If you would like a copy of this form at an earlier time, please contact the editor.
