DreamBox is ‘solving for X’ at CMC South

Join us at the 58th Annual Mathematics Conference in Palm Springs, October 27–28

The California Mathematics Council (CMC) South conference kicks off on October 27^th, and DreamBox is excited to be both a presenter and an exhibitor at the event, which is expected to attract more than 3,500 educators and administrators of all levels.

This year, the theme is “Growing Powerful Students by Using Mathematics as a GPS to Empower All”—including English language learners, under-represented students, and students with special needs. Attendees will have more than 280 sessions to choose from—presented by top mathematics educators from California and across the United States.

Our own Kelly Urlacher, senior curriculum designer at DreamBox Learning, will be co-presenting two separate sessions on preparing students for Algebra alongside two local educational experts from the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) and the Tulare City School District, respectively. We encourage you to add one or both titles to your list of must-see sessions. Times, locations, and descriptions follow:
