Abstract
- Family math refers to activities in the home and community that use math in practical ways. When purposefully planned, these activities create a bridge between home and school mathematics. The need for this bridge became obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic when students joined math class from home using platforms such as Zoom and Google Classroom. Technology has relevant family math applications that may be less visible when normalized in the home. This paper examines traditional and non-traditional forms of family math, ranging from an online food order app for middle school students to an electronic game for preschoolers. Connecting home and school practices encourages stakeholders to hold conversations about math in various settings. Implications include the positive effects of school-to-home communication that recognize the bi-directional importance of intentional family math practices.
