Parent Education Events – Research-Based Math
Thank you to all who attended this week’s Parent Education event titled “Researched-Based Mathematics Teaching and Learning,” In her presentation, Dr. Jen Munson, an assistant professor of learning sciences at Northwestern University, provided insights into the ways children understand and engage with math and shared what research suggests students need in order to develop strong mathematical skills. Dr. Munson has worked with our teachers. Learn what our teachers are learning and how your children are growing through this work. A
