In their homes and other early education and care settings, children make initial explorations into everyday mathematics, progressively developing and refining knowledge and skills as well as acquiring expectations, motivations, and beliefs about their math abilities. Family Math can blend books, games, and activities designed to maximize high quality math interactions with preschool children. The goal this post being to disseminate resources and knowledge that parents and caregivers can use to promote math learning among young children.
