Math That Counts Summit - March 16, 2027

The Math That Counts Summit is a new professional learning experience designed for PreK–5 teachers, coaches, interventionists, administrators, and mathematics leaders. Rather than a traditional exhibit hall, the summit features a Math Resource Studio—a curated, interactive experience where educators engage with high-quality instructional resources that directly support the day's learning.
We are seeking organizations for resource studio partners - whose products, services, and resources align with powerful mathematics instruction and who are committed to creating meaningful learning experiences for participants.
Registration for Participants - Coming Soon!
