Math Journals from MAA (Mathematical Association of America)

These three publications from the Mathematical Association of America are written for a general mathematical audience. The articles in them have a goal of being more easily readable, understandable, and engaging than typical academic journal articles, so these are good places to start for undergraduate mathematics students.
