Math Ideas for Families

Below are some links to different math ideas, activities and websites.
​
Please remember that math learning doesn't have to be formal to be valuable.
Some of the best math learning is done simply by showing your child how you use math in real life.  Be sure to include your child when you are:
  • -making food (measuring, doubling, calculating time)
  • -preparing your budget or figuring out prices
  • -completing your taxes
  • -measuring things (for renovations, for sewing projects, etc)
  • -reading and interpreting graphs
  • -playing board games as a family
