Department of Education – Early Math Counts https://earlymathcounts.org Laying the foundation for a lifetime of achievement Tue, 11 Jul 2017 15:49:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 183791774 Mathematics Activities for Parents and Their Children https://earlymathcounts.org/mathematics-activities-for-parents-and-their-children/ https://earlymathcounts.org/mathematics-activities-for-parents-and-their-children/#respond Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:31:33 +0000 http://www.mathathome.org/blog1/?p=3017 Sometimes, I discover a resource that surprises me.  First, this comes from the feds – and even though there are so many wonderful public servants who work in government – I don’t always love what they are selling.

This page from the Department of Education website comes from the archives, but is still available.  It is a collection of activities that parents can do with their young children that center on math.  Most of them are everyday activities that parents are doing anyway, with simple twists that enhance and highlight the mathematical concepts.  It is a one-pager that might be worth copying and sending home.  The activities are divided into simple, moderate, and challenging and are color-coded for ease of use.

Let us know what you think?  Worth copying?
