Purposeful Planning, Powerful Math Classrooms
Tuesday July 14, 2026 2:40pm - 4:00pm PDT

In problem-based math classrooms, planning is about more than sequencing content. It is about designing learning experiences that cultivate curiosity, discourse, and community. In this session, educators will explore a purposeful backward planning process for units and daily lessons and unpack five key practices that support mathematical thinking, engagement, and classroom cohesion across the school year. Participants will analyze what effective planning looks like in problem-based curricula and leave with concrete strategies for ensuring rigor and meaningful student participation in every math classroom.
