About the Conference
The Mississippi Council of Teachers of Mathematics invites mathematics educators, instructional coaches, administrators, and district leaders from across the state to join us for our 2025 Fall Conference: Defying Tradition; Let Thinking Take Flight.
This year’s conference is a bold call to action — it’s time to break away from traditional, procedural mathematics instruction and elevate student learning through critical thinking, student-centered problem solving, and rich mathematical discourse.
We are pushing beyond “the way it’s always been done” to build mathematics classrooms that align with the mission and vision of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).
NCTM emphasizes that students’ mathematical thinking is valuable and essential to their learning. Effective classrooms must leverage student thinking, encourage diverse approaches to problem solving, and foster environments where mathematical discourse thrives.
