Resource Description
Connecting student thinking through problem solving
HMH
Utilizing strategies like those from Peter Liljedahl’s Building Thinking Classrooms, we will investigate ways to engage students in math explorations that will increase active student learning of both concepts and procedures. By supporting teachers in utilizing the knowledge that is already present in the room, we will give you strategies to elicit and support student-driven understanding. Through collaboration and discussion, engagement techniques, and actionable takeaways, you will be ready to flip the script in your classroom and get students to actively think!
CPM Educational Program
In this session, teachers will have a chance to explore algebra tiles and learn how to use them to complete algebraic multiplication, factoring, and completing the square exercises. Participants will practice a series of problems they can use with students to build their conceptual understanding of these topics. A series of problems from student lessons are included in the handout, beginning with diamond problems.
McGraw Hill
Leveraging ALEKS for purposeful planning and student engagement. Using actional data to tailor instruction, identify student groups, and students' level of readiness.

CKingEducation
As AI tools like ChatGPT and Photomath become part of students' daily routines, our go-to math tasks face new challenges. Grounded in NCTM's Principles to Actions and Polya's problem-solving framework, in this session we'll examine how to design tasks, discussions, and assessments that emphasize process over product, reward thinking over speed, and encourage students to engage deeply, rather than delegate their struggle to a tool.
Frizzle
Learn how to assess advanced math such as AP calculus using Frizzle to give students personalized feedback and correctly allocate points using the College Board rubric.
Accelerate Learning Inc
The presentation highlights how Math Talks promote student discourse, engagement, and critical thinking across K–12 classrooms through modeled activities, clear facilitation strategies, and practical resources. Participants gain ready-to-use tools and examples they can implement immediately, regardless of curriculum or product use.
Accelerate Learning Inc
The presentation demonstrates how intentional task design, strategic scaffolding, and reflective discussion help build perseverance, problem-solving skills, and mathematical discourse across K–12 classrooms. Through modeled activities and research-based connections, educators learn how to balance support and challenge to foster deeper, more lasting learning.
There is a lot of talk going on about AI and how students are using it to “cheat” or how it might replace teachers. This video aims to dispel myths about AI and consider how we can use AI to support learning and teach students to think and be creative. Additionally, this session aims to provide you with videos and articles that will allow you to dig deeper into this emerging world of AI.

Tired of not hitting pacing guide targets?
Students without mature number sense -- that is the ability to reason with numbers rather than relying only on memorized procedures -- struggle to learn grade level content. Reflexively, teachers resort to reteaching, slowing down, and lingering on grade level topics, hoping for mastery. This presentation introduces the concept of mature number sense and provides tools for classrooms and systems to accelerate grade level learning by assessing and addressing students' number sense.

Every learner brings unique strengths, cultures, and needs to the classroom. This session explores how teachers can use Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to plan for learner variability, reduce barriers, and increase rigor and engagement for all students.
The Math Learning Center
Believing that ALL students are capable math learners is powerful when it is put into action. Join us as we explore what rich tasks are and how they can nurture a sense of belonging while empowering students to believe in themselves as capable doers of math.
PATINS
Jim Franklin is the creator of Slide-A-Round Math Manipulatives. These provide visual aids and a hands-on approach that increases students’ understanding and comprehension of place value, estimating and rounding of whole numbers and decimals, simplifying and comparing fractions, as well as addressing the standards of elapsed time and weight.
