Sinossi

How to build productive relationships in math education 

I wasn’t taught this way. I can’t help my child! These are common refrains from parents and guardians, who are often overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about how to best support their children with what they see as the “new math.” Partnering With Parents in Elementary School Math provides educators with long overdue guidance on how to communicate with families about their children’s learning. Readers will find guidance on how to:
  
· Understand what fuels parents’ anxieties and concerns
· Set parents’ expectations about their children’s math instruction and homework
· Communicate clearly and productively about students’ mathematical progress, strengths, and needs 
· Run informative and fun family events 
· Coach parents to portray a productive disposition at home
