Join us at OAME 2026 for a transformative exploration of math education under the theme "Let's Talk Math." Our conference is dedicated to empowering educators with strategies that amplify student voices and foster a culture of inclusivity. Discover innovative methodologies to:

• increase student oral participation, creating a vibrant classroom where every voice counts,

• explore how to leverage student dialogue for both formative and summative assessment, providing timely feedback that nurtures growth and understanding, and

• embrace opportunities to cultivate a community where diverse perspectives are valued, enhancing collective problem-solving skills and deepening appreciation for mathematics.

Don't miss this chance to join the conversation and shape the future of math education - let's talk math together!
