When your family takes a trip, challenge
your children to find evidence of math around them. Print
copies of the
“Where’s
the Math?” sheet and use your children’s
answers as a springboard for math conversations during
the car ride or when you arrive home.

If
you’ve ever wondered about the best way to help
your children appreciate and achieve in math, you’re
not alone. One of the easiest ways to help your children
is to support them in realizing that math is not an isolated
school subject. The more connections they make between
math and their everyday experiences, the greater the foundation
of understanding they will develop.
