Join us this summer at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a unique four-day professional learning experience that brings together educators from across the nation! This combined conference offers two rich events designed to elevate mathematics teaching and deepen understanding of student thinking—all within a stunning desert-mountain setting.
The experience begins with the 2026 National CGI Conference (June 29–30), serving educators from PreK/TK through Grade 7. Explore how children’s mathematical thinking can guide and transform instruction through sessions led by CGI researchers, professors, and expert practitioners. Engage in evidence-based learning that strengthens your ability to respond to students’ ideas in meaningful and empowering ways. Visit https://cgiconference.org for updates and additional conference information.
The learning continues with Math in the Sun (July 1–2), Arizona’s premier mathematics education gathering. This year’s theme—Bright Ideas in the Sun: Where Thinking Shines!—celebrates innovation, collaboration, and creativity in math education. Across two inspiring days, you’ll participate in dynamic sessions, connect with passionate colleagues, and gather new strategies to illuminate learning. Visit https://azmathleaders.org/mits for updates and additional information about the Math in the Sun conference.
Whether you join us for one event or both, you’ll experience a vibrant, uplifting retreat that blends professional growth, community building, and powerful ideas—all under the beautiful Arizona sun.
