Another article about Early Math Counts (not the site – but actual Early Math Counts)

Thanks to my friend and colleague Carrie Nepstad for sending me this article from KQED.org. The title, How Adding Math to a Child’s Routine Can Advance Achievement, gives you a pretty good idea about the context, but it may even be one of those articles that you actually copy and give to parents because it describes the value of incorporating math strategies at home.

Where the wild integers are

The article focuses on a new IPad app called “Bedtime Math” which is designed for children and parents to work on together. The math is embedded into a story problem that needs to be solved. Parents and children can choose the problem of the day and work through the math. There are questions for wee ones, little kids, and bigger kids.

Check it out.

Early Math Counts’s Dr. Kathleen Sheridan sent me this link last week. It will take you to a pretty cool website called “Bedtime Math”. Founded by parents, this not-for-profit organization is funded by private donors who simply want to increase math opportunities for young children in school and at home. This is not unlike the Early Math Counts mission.

When I opened the website, it seemed familiar. That is because I wrote a blog entry about these folks over 2 years ago. Their website has come a long way and has loads of great materials for teachers and parents.

Check it out.

My friend John sent me this link yesterday to a great articled called “Bedtime Math“. I thought I would share it with you here. This would be great to do when putting kids down for their naps.
