Synopsis

 

Parents want to be supportive of math education. But they often feel frustration when they don't recognize the kind of instruction their children are getting.  TheSupporting School Mathematics parent workshop series uses explicit, thorough, hands-on examples to illustrate how key aspects of your math curriculum work.

 

Each Supporting School Mathematics package includes everything you need to conduct a successful parent workshop:

• a planning handbook that offers general advice on presenting mathematical content and even provides you a Q-and-A section featuring the questions you are most likely to get and good answers to them
• a module that includes scripts, content-specific talking points, overheads, and handouts that help audience members understand how their children are learning and discover new ways of helping them at home
• a CD that contains ready-to-print files for the overheads as well as printable versions of the handouts

Gain parents' support by using Supporting School Mathematics to introduce them to high-quality, student-centered mathematics instruction. It's an easy, new way to change how they think about their children's math education.
