- Create and Facilitate Hands-On Math Stations: Gain practical tools for designing interactive, developmentally appropriate stations that model evidence-based mathematical strategies families can use at home, such as number talks, math games, measurement activities, and problem-solving supports.
- Build Staff and Community Collaboration: Learn how to coordinate with teachers, specialists, and community partners to create a cohesive event that reflects the school's mathematics vision and provides families with ongoing resources and support.
- Use Data to Inform and Improve: Explore how to gather feedback from families, use student math data to guide event planning, and measure the impact of engagement efforts on student learning and family-school relationships.
