A little math at home can go a long way…

Many parents struggle with how to support their children’s mathematical learning. When a parent or child has anxiety around math, this problem just gets worse. I get a lot of questions about the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, effective online content, and what activities/games integrate math in engaging ways. I have gathered and organized the resources below for both parents and kids. Doing math early and often with your children can serve them well down the line.
