"Do Math...and you can do anything!"
That is the message of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. NCTM is a nonprofit, professional organization dedicated to improving mathematics education. We work closely with schools, businesses and communities to ensure that every child, in every school, in every state, is provided a comprehensive mathematics education.

Do Math is a national public awareness campaign focusing on the life-altering opportunities that mathematics makes possible. These PSAs serve as a catalyst to change preconceived notions of mathematics and to open young minds to the importance and power of mathematics in today's world.

Each PSA features the Web site address, www.domath.org, where parents and children can find information on mathematics and careers. Sponsored by NCTM, the site also contains age-specific mathematics activities that children can do with their families and on their own.

We hope these PSAs will encourage children to take advantage of a future that mathematics makes possible.
