International Study Group on Ethnomathematics. “The International Study Group on Ethnomathematics was founded in 1985 by math educators Gloria Gilmer, Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, and Rick Scott. The term was coined by Ubiratan D'Ambrosio to describe the mathematical practices of identifiable cultural groups. It is sometimes used specifically for small-scale indigenous societies, but in its broadest sense the "ethno" prefix can refer to any group -- national societies, labor communities, religious traditions, professional classes, and so on. Mathematical practices include symbolic systems, spatial designs, practical construction techniques, calculation methods, measurement in time and space, specific ways of reasoning and inferring, and other cognitive and material activities which can be translated to formal mathematical representation. The ISGEm strives to increase our understanding of the cultural diversity of mathematical practices, and to apply this knowledge to education and development.” URL: http://www.rpi.edu/~eglash/isgem.htm

Myra Sadker Advocates for Gender Equity. “A non-profit organization dedicated to promoting equity in and beyond schools. By working to eliminate gender bias, MSA enhances the academic, psychological, economic and physical potential of America's children. The Advocates supports research, training and special programs for teachers, parents, children and all those whose work and interests touch the lives of children. MSA annually sponsors Myra Sadker Day, a national effort to remove gender barriers and stereotyping. Our efforts are made by volunteers committed to the ideals and goals exemplified by Myra Sadker , her work and life. David Sadker also continues the Sadkers' pioneering work to create gender fair schools.” URL: http://www.sadker.org/

National Coalition of Girls’ Schools. “We believe that every girl deserves the chance to realize her many possibilities. It's a life-long process, and it begins early. For generations, all-girl schools have understood and put into practice teaching strategies and approaches that work best for girls. Lessons are lively, classrooms discussions animated. Among the student body, all the speakers, players, writers, singers, athletes, leaders, and stars are girls. Mentors and role models are readily available. Too often today we hear of national surveys demonstrating adolescent girls' loss of self-esteem, self-confidence, and interest in math and science. But graduates of girls' schools indicate just the opposite. They are confident and accomplished, and excel in math and science-related subjects. They are the beneficiaries of teaching techniques which take into account the way girls learn best.” URL: http://www.ncgs.org

Women in Mathematics. “Women in Math (WIM) is an organization at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP). WIM is dedicated to serving the needs of women mathematicians at UMCP. In order to fulfill that purpose, WIM members have organized a number of events. Two ongoing activities are monthly lunch get-togethers and biweekly graduate women talks. We also have an electronic newsletter for our members. This WWW page is WIM's latest endeavor. It is our goal that this page will include information or links to information in the following categories: Scholarships, Conferences, etc. ; Women in Mathematics ; Women in Computer Science, Physics, or Engineering ; Advice for Graduate Students in Math or Other Scientific Disciplines; Career Information ; Mathematics ; Women's Issues ; WIM Members ; UMCP Information .” URL: http://www.math.umd.edu/~wim/
