Does your student struggle with his or her math homework? Are you arguing over who's way of solving problems is right, your's or the teacher's? Wouldn't it be nice if your child thought math was FUN? It's time for a math boot camp for parents! Each Meetup will engage parents with strategies to help their child as well as some time for home-enjoyment review (Really, why should it be homeWORK?)

Who: Parents who want to help their elementary school students with mathematics.

Why: While math hasn't changed much since we were in school... virtually everything else has, including teaching methods, curricula, homework, and expectations

How: Using math strategies from Singapore Math and other World-Class curricula, we'll focus on understanding elementary math concepts. Why do we invert and multiply when dividing fractions? What are we doing when we "borrow" from a number? Why don't kids memorize their multiplication tables anymore?

Bonus: At each Meetup, I'll provide Math-Campers with some handpicked resources that engage students and strengthen their mastery of math facts. We'll play games that focus on mathematics content and discuss your child's homework assignment, so bring them along!
