Abstract

NCTM's vision for mathematics in the new millennium includes an invitation to parents to become partners in the mathematics education of their children (NCTM 2000). Encouraging families to become problem-solving risk takers as they turn daily mathematics moments into mathematics events, to establish learning environments at home, and to informally work together on mathematics games and concept development are positive goals for all educators. The purpose of our school's Family Math Night is to provide a friendly, nonthreatening environment for teachers to initiate a dialogue, demystify a subject, and share new challenges; the event is about mathematics learning, mathematics sharing, and having fun with mathematics.
