PowerMyLearning

Earlier this week, PowerMyLearning’s Director of Math Jillian Mendoza and Product Research & Insights Specialist Brian Baker, Ed.M. joined educators, district leaders, and AI practitioners at the 2026 AI Empowered EDU Conference in Portland, Oregon.

Their session, “Designing with AI to Amplify Teacher’s Math Instruction,” explored how MathVoice uses purpose-built AI to help educators better understand student mathematical thinking, moving beyond right-or-wrong answers to reveal how students reason through math concepts.

Key themes and takeaways included:
✨ Educators are eager for AI tools that strengthen instruction while keeping teachers firmly at the center of decision-making.
✨ District leaders are looking for practical, scalable ways to better understand student thinking and support stronger math outcomes across classrooms.
✨ Session attendees responded strongly to MathVoice’s play-based approach and classroom examples, sparking conversations about how mathematical discourse can deepen engagement, surface misconceptions, and make student thinking more visible.

Tomorrow’s the day! On May 5 in NYC, we’re bringing together educators, leaders, and partners for the 2026 Innovative Learning Awards, an evening celebrating real progress in how students learn math.

There’s still time to join us. Be part of the conversation, hear powerful stories from classrooms, and connect with a community working to ensure every student builds the math skills they need for lifelong success.
