I'm honored to have been invited to present at this year's Summer Math Summit-- a free math PD event running from June 25-28, 2026.
The Summer Math Summit is a free virtual conference for pre-K through high school, focusing on practical strategies for the math classroom.
This year there are over 50 sessions to watch, three live make-and take-sessions, and virtual hangouts. There's even a free app this year if you're on the beach and want to watch sessions on your phone!
My session this year Algebra Tiles in Action covers factoring quadratics with algebra tiles, from simple trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1 and all terms are positive, to non-prime leading coefficients with negative terms. It will be an extension of the algebra tiles reels I've been sharing on Instagram and Facebook all in one video with extra explanations.

I’d love to attend this math conference, but we’ll be on vacation during these dates. Any chance the recordings will be available after these dates?
ReplyDeleteHi Darla, there is a VIP ticket, which allows you to watch the sessions for 180 days and comes with a 22-hour PD certificate. It should pop up as an option when you get your free ticket.
