Welcome to the Research Council on Mathematics Learning!

RCML seeks to stimulate, generate, coordinate, and disseminate research efforts designed to understand and/or influence factors that affect mathematics learning.

Welcome to RCML

The Research Council on Mathematics Learning (RCML) is a professional community of researchers interested in mathematics education who value collaboration and interdisciplinary research efforts. A key focus of this research is to understand and/or influence factors that affect mathematics learning. 

RCML focuses on promoting research-based advancements in PK-20 mathematics learning and PK-16 teacher preparation and professional development. Target audiences include mathematics education faculty, mathematics faculty, and PK-12 school leaders.

Goals of RCML define the activities and products of RCML:

  • Developing and sustaining a professional learning community of researchers and school leaders.
  • Advancing research about PK-20 mathematics learning, PK-16 teacher preparation and teacher professional development.
  • Informing practice through dissemination of scholarly works through professional fellowship, conference presentations and publications.

Upcoming Annual Conference - March 5-7, 2026

The 53rd Annual Conference of the Research Council on Mathematics Learning (RCML) will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Alexis Park Resort, March 5-7, 2026. The purpose of the RCML conference is to share current research in mathematics education. This year, we invite potential presenters to submit scholarship that reflects on the past and provides innovative directions for the future of mathematics learning across various disciplines. We encourage proposals of completed research studies and works-in-progress.

More details and the Call for Proposals will be available soon!
