Intro to Building Math Culture:
from Vision to Practice to Impact

July 21-23, 2026
Denver, Colorado

Join us for a 2.5 day summer institute where you will step into your students’ shoes and experience what math feels like when curiosity, discourse, and deep thinking lead the way (grades K-12).

🔎 What We’ll Explore

• ​How America’s math culture shapes beliefs about who is (and isn’t) a “math person”—and reflect on how your own math story shapes your practice.

• Research-based math instructional strategies, including the Launch-Explore-Discuss-Synthesize lesson structure and the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Math Discussions.

• How purposeful use of the models and strategies can simultaneously support access and challenge for all learners

• Protocols that build teacher content knowledge around essential grade-level concepts

• How to plan for a lesson that positions students as the problem solvers

🛠️ How We’ll Explore

• ​Step into your students’ shoes by engaging in rich, inquiry-based math tasks—and reflect on how the experience deepens your own understanding of mathematics and effective instruction.

• Participate in protocols designed to build content knowledge and pedagogical skill—structures you can take back and use with your own teams.

• Use lesson video to unpack teacher decision-making, and examine how instructional choices shape student thinking and collaboration.

• Experience instructional best practices as a learner — with professional development sessions designed to reflect the same engagement, challenge, and discourse we seek for our students.
