Parents are a child's first teachers, and home is the first science and math classroom.
We count on schools to build a strong foundation in math and science for children. There are also many other places, people, and programs outside the home and school that can add to what parents and teachers provide on a regular basis. Think of your neighborhood as a science and math resource. A tour of the factory or shop where a family member works and an insect hunt in the playground, park, or lot are examples of places to learn science. Predict the number of vehicles that will go through that intersection in fifteen minutes or half an hour.
