Inspiring Your Children to Love Math: A Conversation with Professor Lesa Clarkson from the U of M’s College of Education and Human Development
Summary: <a href="http://www.cehd.umn.edu/ci/people/Clarkson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>Many of us parents feel intimidated by how early children are moving into relatively advanced mathematics – and how much we already have forgotten of the math we learned in school. Or, as Mom Enough host Erin observed from her kids’ experience, we may not understand the specific ways math is taught these days.<br> <br> <br> <br> Nonetheless, as guest <a href="http://www.cehd.umn.edu/ci/people/Clarkson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lesa Clarkson</a> describes, there are many fun and interesting activities we can do with our kids at every age to get them excited about math in everyday life and possibly inspire them to love math!<br> <br> <br> <br> What are some of the fun ways Dr. Clarkson suggested supporting children’s math learning at home? Thinking of the ages and interests of your own children, name two or three specific math-related activities you can (and will!) try with them.<br> <br> <br> <br> For the U of M’s College of Education and Human Development, <a href="https://z.umn.edu/momenough" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a>.<br> <br> For Preventing Summer Learning Loss, <a href="http://momenough.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Preventing-Summer-Learning-Loss.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a>.
