CMP at NCSM 2026: Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Partner
The Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) is heading to Denver, Colorado, for the 58th Annual Conference of the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM), October 26–28, 2026. This year’s conference centers on elevating bold mathematics leadership, and we’re excited to contribute to that conversation.
On Tuesday, October 27, Dr. Alden J. “AJ” Edson, Elizabeth (Betty) Phillips, and Yvonne Slanger-Grant will present Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Partner: Supporting Deep Proportional Reasoning and Active Learning for All Students.
The session will explore how AI-driven tools can help mathematics leaders and teachers put research-based strategies into practice: strategies that build deeper mathematical understanding and invite every student to participate. Drawing on CMP’s work with the Connected Mathematics®4 curriculum, the team will share how AI can offer real-time insight into student reasoning, helping teachers adapt instruction in the moment, track progress over time, and build inclusive, problem-based classrooms where all students can thrive.
The session builds on CMP’s long-standing commitment to problem-based learning and deep mathematical understanding, and on our view that AI should support, not replace, the work of teaching.
