Abstract
Family math. The EQUALS staff at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, has developed a program of classes to involve parents in their children's future schooling and jobs. Information about careers and the importance of mathematics to future jobs and schooling is woven throughout the classes. Mathematics topics are drawn from measurement, probability and statistics, patterns and functions, geometry, arithmetic, and logical thinking, and activities are designed to supplement the classroom curriculum. Classes are given for specific grade levels, spanning kindergarten through general mathematics. A hands-on approach, used with emphases on problem solving and the enjoyment of mathematics, includes instructions for use at home. FAMILY MATH is funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. A dissemination workshop will train new leaders in the fall of 1984.
