Family Math Night: Math Standards in Action
Taylor-Cox, Jennifer
Eye on Education
Why should your school have a Family Math Night?: (1) Help students learn essential math concepts; (2) Give parents a chance to serve as models of motivation, persistence and competence; and (3) Promote math success in a supportive setting. With its step-by-step directions and suggestions for both teachers and parents, this book takes the worry out of planning and conducting a Family Math Night at your school. How does Family Math Night work? (1) Invite parents to accompany their children to school for an evening event; (2) Arrange a series of tables ("stations") in a large room or in several classrooms; (3) As shown in this book, prepare materials--easy-to-find and inexpensive--and set up an activity at each station; (4) Parents and students visit some or all stations and engage in the activities together; and (5) Teachers encourage participation, offer assistance, and promote "math talk." This book contains 40 engaging and inspiring activities, organized by grade level, along with: For the teacher: (1) list of materials; (2) helpful hints; and (3) connections to math standards. For the parent and student: (1) description of activity and directions; (2) questions parents can ask; and (3) challenges. The activities in this book align with the NCTM content and process standards for pre-kindergarten through grade 5.
