Family Math is a nationally recognized program that encourages parents and children to work together on problem solving activities. It gives parents and their children opportunities to develop problem solving srategies and an understanding of math concepts using hands-on materials.
Problem solving strategies are ways in which people think about how to solve a problem.
Having a supply of strategies helps eliminate the frustration of not knowing how or where to begin solving a problem. These strategies help to increase a student's willingness to tackle new problems. Our Family Math Night is funded by the Title 1 Program of Austintown Schools. Teachers and PTA members work together to provide this program for our students. The festival includes various activities and games in which area students participate and compete.
