  • How to learn, lead, and live without barriers.
  • The power of play and explore ways we can play with mathematics in your classroom.
  • How can we empower students through estimation.
  • How we can we teach students the confidence and wits to process content, solve problems, innovate, persevere, and engage in “big picture” thinking.
  • How teachers can step into parents’ shoes and better understand the ways in which they can support parent understanding of the way we teach math today.
  • How you can use “power tools” with your students to deepen learning and solve problems with efficiency.
Plus so much more …
No fluff — just proven strategies that work from educators who’ve been in your shoes.
From the comfort of you home learn proven classroom strategies from experienced educators so you can make that difference in your classroom you’ve always wanted to. 

LEARN FROM GREAT EDUCATORS

We hand picked our all-star speakers because they’ve been where you are and can provide you with amazing ideas and resources for your classroom . Their sessions are aimed at the one thing we all want for our classrooms: How to help ALL learners in our math classes.

YOUR TICKET IS FREE (FOR A LIMITED TIME)

It’s not every day that this group of highly qualified educators stops what they are doing to give you tips, ideas, activities, and resources. They’ve been in your shoes, and they want to give back to other educators who will influence the math education of our students. That’s you!

WATCH FROM ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

Watch the sessions from anywhere. No flight costs, hotels or travel time; and most importantly, no time away from your classroom or family. Can’t make it to every live session? No problem!  Sessions will be recorded so you can watch them anytime throughout the week.
