FAMILY MATH.
To Parents:
Is math important to your child's future? Yes! Mathematics is considered a "gatekeeper" to today's high school mathematics courses, a broad spectrum of college majors, and any number of careers.
With FAMILY MATH you don't need to be an expert to help your child in mathematics. We hope you and your family have fun solving the math activities on this Web site.
To Teachers and Parents:
FAMILY MATH believes that all children can learn and enjoy mathematics. In FAMILY MATH inexpensive materials of all kinds - beans, blocks, bottle caps, toothpicks, coins - are used to help parents and their children figure out ways to solve problems together. FAMILY MATH also helps bridge home and school.
The FAMILY MATH books are collections of mathematics and advocacy materials that work well in home settings, family classes, and the classroom. Click on each book cover to find out more.
