AMS for Teachers and Parents

Whether your student or child shows exceptional talent and interest, or asks “what is math good for?” and “why do I need to know math?”, you will find here a wealth of resources, publications and news to help you educate, inspire and mentor high school and undergraduate students. You may wish to direct students to the AMS for Students page as well so they can explore for themselves.
