Event Theme

Everyone Belongs Here

About The Event

Uplifting, Valuing, and Belonging in Mathematics is rooted in knowing each student brings a unique source of knowledge to the mathematics classroom, representative of their authentic experiences of family, community, and culture.  

The NCTM 2024 Regional Conference & Exposition theme, Everyone Belongs Here, aims to celebrate and embrace the experiences and differences that make each child unique.  

The conference will explore instructional practices that create safe learning spaces where students’ voices, thoughts, and ideas are heard; their math identities thrive; and they are secure in knowing they are valued, they matter, and they belong. Join us February 7–9 in Seattle for three days of learning, networking, and opportunities for growing professionally and personally.   

NCTM is committed to ensuring that our events are fully accessible to all. Visit our Accessibility & Inclusion section for more details.
