Council for the Mathematical Sciences

The Council for the Mathematical Sciences (CMS) is a group of grown-up people who really like math! They work together to make sure that math is easy to understand and use for everyone. They help teachers and schools teach math better, and they come up with new ways to use math in real-life situations.

The CMS helps make sure that everyone knows how important math is - it helps you calculate how much money you have, figure out measurements for cooking, and even helps scientists figure out how to make new medicines! They also make sure that everyone has a chance to learn math, no matter who they are or where they come from.

So, the Council for the Mathematical Sciences is like a big team of math superheroes who work together to make sure math is awesome and helpful for everyone!
