As math education researchers, when we meet people on airplanes or at business events and tell them we support math teachers, people have two responses. First, they tell us how terrible their own math experience was. Second they respond with 'And, now, I can't even help my kid with math' because the ways we teach math have changed. MathParents is a response to both of these issues!
MathParents.org is a website created to support parents to tie their own understanding of math to the math their children are being assigned in school (grades K-8). It is a collaborative project by Rethink Learning Inc. and Urso Education Consulting, two organizations focused on improving math teaching and learning through applying research to real-world problems.
