Canyon Springs Community School hosted a Family Math Night in February where parents learned how they could work with their children to practice grade-level math skills through everyday activities at home.

For example, parents learned how to help their children practice fractions through preparation of a recipe, and how they can use money skills while selecting items from a menu.

The goal was to give families several practical strategies for practicing math skills so children become confident mathematicians and to help children develop an understanding that the skills they learn in school play an important and enjoyable role in their daily lives.
