wp" 16-- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, March 9, 1993 Family Math helps to make it all easier Math can be as easy as 1-2-3 for parents with a little creative thinking and some extra time to spend with the children A Family Math program at R.H. Cornish School gave parents the chance to work with their children using every-day items readily found around the home such as beans, tooth-picks, buttons and even coloured macaroni The parents and their children got together in the Library at the school each Thursday evening for the last five weeks "The whole idea of this is to familiarize parents with math (at the elementary school level) and to show parents that they can help with their children at home," said principal Stan Todd who served as the administrator for the Family Math program. As for the success of the program, he said it has been excellent with plenty of positive feed-back from parents Kathy Lavender, one of eight Cornish teachers who worked with the parents and the children said the same program will be offered again at the school next year, probably in the fall term There were five session at the school-two each for primary and junior and one for intermediate students and their parents Along with Ms. Lavender, the other teachers were Keith Crawford, Sheila Kenny, Shawn Smyth, Ruth Walling, Lise Middleton, Cathy Chase, Denise Jeffrey and Suzanne Parker Attendance each night varied, but there were as many as 70 parents and their kids working on math concepts in the Library.
