SUMMARY:Family Math
DESCRIPTION:Come play with numbers! Family Math is a new program that invites families with children ages 5-8 to explore math through creativity\, imagination\, and hands-on fun. Each session is full of open-ended activities designed to help children see math as something playful\, expressive\, and part of every day life–from patterns in nature to shapes we build to rhythms we move to. \nFamilies will work together\, sharing ideas\, experimenting\, and discovering new ways to look at the world. It’s all about building confidence\, fostering curiosity\, and enjoying the process–not just getting the “right answer.” \nOne registration covers your whole family. Limited to 12 families \nSession Dates: January 27\, February 24\, March 14\, April 28\, May 26 \nRegister here.
