Learn It Today, Use It Tomorrow! Practical Strategies and Inspiration Await at the MCTM 2025 Spring Conference
by Sarah Moffett, VP Elementary
Attending the Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) 2025 Statewide Math Conference in Duluth, MN, is an absolute game-changer for anyone passionate about teaching math! The conference is packed with opportunities to learn from expert practitioners who are actively implementing creative and effective strategies in their classrooms. Over the years, I have learned strategies for implementing ideas like bar modeling, building thinking classrooms, using Rekenreks (bead racks) to enhance number sense, and incorporating language strategies to support all learners. And one of my most memorable sessions? Dancing to Egyptian math symbols! These hands-on, immediately applicable strategies will leave you inspired and ready to transform your own teaching practices.
What makes MCTM so special is that you gain practical tools you can use right away. As a classroom teacher, I’ve always walked away with ideas and materials that I could implement the very next day. Whether you’re looking to dive into technology integration, explore new ways to support special education and English language learners, or find fresh ways to engage your students, the Spring Conference is the place to be. Plus, with keynote speakers like Howie Hua, & Latrenda Knighten, this conference promises to spark your creativity and rejuvenate your passion for teaching math. Duluth’s beautiful lakeside setting makes it the perfect place to connect, learn, and recharge—don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to grow as an educator! Register now.
