We host this conference as an investment in the most important educational resource that America has—the classroom teacher. We are honored that you chose to join us. It is our hope that what you saw, heard, did, and learned at this conference will leave you motivated and inspired to continue the pursuit of mathematics with your students and colleagues.

We extend a thank you to those who were willing to present their ideas and strategies with their colleagues. We hope you enjoyed your time in the beautiful San Francisco area and left energized to continue empowering your students. We hope to see you next year!

Consider speaking at the 2020 CPM Teacher Conference: February 22 & 23, 2020
Share your experience and the lessons you have learned teaching students how to reason, solve problems, and communicate mathematically.

Speaker proposals are due by May 15, 2019.

As lead speaker, you will receive one complimentary registration and a conference grant to help defray the cost of the conference. The amount of the conference grant has yet to be determined.

Feedback Survey
Many teachers struggle with getting through the core problems of each lesson that there’s often no time for meaningful closure. Students seldom connect mathematical concepts with the complex and rich problems they complete in lessons. During this session we’ll discuss the value of closure and practical ways to efficiently plan and execute closure activities in our lessons to help our students make connections between the problems they do and the mathematical concepts they’re learning.
