Fantastic Math Resource

Family Math is an excellent guide to use in preparing Family Math Nights and giving support to parents of Middle School students who need a little refresher on math topics in order to help their children. Family Math Nights are especially helpful when students and parents work on math-related activities together. Students can take the lead in guiding their families toward solutions to fun problems. This empowers the students and allows them to show their math savviness in hands-on ways that can't be explained during a parent-teacher conferences or in report cards. Family Math Nights are great motivators that allow teachers to watch students and parents interact. This book provides all a teacher needs to prepare for these valuable events. I highly recommend it.

This book makes math both fun and challenging!

My family really enjoyed playing the math games and doing the activities in this book. We had to put on our thinking caps and discover different math strategies. My kids loved the art in this book. There was also a lot of useful information on how much math my kids need to get into college.
