APS Rising Educator Summit 2026

Participants will experience Tile Farm Academy, a simple, powerful 10-minute daily math routine that builds number sense, flexible thinking, and joyful engagement. The session highlights three connected activities: Daily Digits (short, meaningful fluency), Number Portraits (creative mathematical expression), and Tile Talk (student-centered math discourse). Together, these routines create a low-floor, high-ceiling environment where all students can participate and think deeply. Teachers will engage in the routine as learners, explore classroom-ready examples, and leave with practical structures they can implement immediately. The focus is on making math both meaningful and enjoyable—without adding complexity to the school day.
