Dominating the Number Line
Tuesday July 21, 2026 8:30am - 10:00am CDT
The number line is the ultimate field of play in mathematics, serving as the foundation for every winning drive from elementary to the pros. In this high-energy session, we’re breaking down the film on the beaded number line—a hands-on, visual model that gives your 3rd–5th grade "mathletes" the vision they need to find the gaps in abstract math.

The Long Game: Strategies for Vertical Algebraic Growth
Tuesday July 21, 2026 2:45pm - 4:15pm CDT
Algebra is often taught as a series of isolated "tricks" and procedures, but it is actually a continuous story of relationships, patterns, and logic. In this session, we will zoom out and explore the vertical trajectory of algebraic thinking. Instead of focusing on "how to get the answer," we will investigate the conceptual shifts required to move students from basic inverse operations to the sophisticated world of advanced functions.
