2025 MidSchoolMath National Conference

Are you ready to transform your math classroom into a dynamic learning environment but you can’t help but think of all the reasons why it can’t work in your room? Do you have concerns about the budget? Is your space or furniture challenging? Join us for this session when we'll confront those excuses and concerns explore how to apply the principles of Building Thinking Classrooms to any classroom.  

We'll address common concerns and provide practical solutions to help you overcome challenges such as limited budget, space constraints, and resistance from colleagues. Discover how to repurpose existing materials, find affordable options, and secure funding for classroom improvements. Learn creative ways to maximize your classroom space and create a sense of openness and flexibility. Gain strategies for building buy-in and overcoming resistance to change.

By the end of this session, you'll feel empowered to break free from the traditional classroom setup and create a space that truly inspires and engages your students -- and a toolkit of practical strategies to implement with your students!
