ICTM History
On October 21st, 1966, the Iowa Association of Mathematics Teachers organization was renamed The Iowa Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM), and ICTM's Constitution was adopted on October 19th, 1967.
ICTM is an affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Historical records are fuzzy on when ICTM became an affiliate. NCTM records show it was 1938, well before ICTM adopted its constitution in 1967, while some ICTM records indicate it might have been around the time the constitution was adopted. We may never know for sure!
ICTM has had three logos during its history:
