Where: Colorado Mountain College, Leadville Campus. 901 US-24, Leadville, CO 80461. Thank you to CMC for hosting us!
Lodging: There is one hotel with a group discount rate:
- Leadville Rodeway Inn (1128 US Highway 24, Leadville, CO, 80461, directly across the street from campus and one mile from downtown) has a block of ~20 rooms for us at the group rate of $70. First come, first served. Book ASAP because of ski season. Call Micelle at 719-486-3637 Wednesday-Sunday from 6AM-2PM to book at the group rate.
Two additional hotels in the area have unique advantages:
- The Delaware Hotel (in the middle of downtown) has 14 rooms available for about $220. It is rich with history and haunted!
- The Columbine Inn (north side of town about three miles from campus and about one mile from downtown) has 20 rooms available for $109. It's closer to downtown than the Rodeway Inn, and convenient to get to Cooper Mtn.
The deadline to register is past. Email libby.watts@ccd.edu if you have any questions about registration!
We will continue to be as hospitable as possible by providing a light breakfast, coffee, tea, water, snacks, and lunch. The deadline to register is March 21, 2025.

Keynote: "Moving, Doing, and Learning Math"
Keynote Speaker: Hortensia Soto is a Professor and Graduate Director in the Department of Mathematics at Colorado State University. Her research centers on the teaching and learning of K-16 mathematics where she adopts an embodied cognition perspective. She currently serves as President of the Mathematical Association of America.
Abstract: Have you ever noticed that when we speak, we use our hands as we speak. The same is true when we speak about mathematics. Try it right now! Think about a math idea and see where your hands go. How do they mimic the mathematics? In this presentation, we will engage in some activities where your body will speak mathematical ideas. I will also share how knowing that our hands and body can speak mathematics can help us to better intentionally teach mathematics. Please bring your fun meters so we can experience some of these ideas together.
