Family math night is fun & games...educational too!

The LES Family Math Night for second and third-graders and their parents/guardians will be held on Tuesday, March 29 in the Liberty Elementary School cafeteria. Registration will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the games and activities will be held from 6:45 p.m. – 8 p.m. All students attending must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  

The school-sponsored event serves two main purposes: to have fun while learning/doing math and to familiarize students and parents/guardians with the state’s third-grade math assessments.

The evening features numerous stations where families can play card, dice and board games, bingo and take part in other math-related activities. Parents/guardians will also have an opportunity to look at sample math assessment questions and get an idea of what is in store for their children. 

“An evening like Family Math Night allows our parents to learn strategies that can help them help their kids learn and have fun at the same time,” explains fourth-grade teacher Kathleen McCann-Smith. “It can be as simple as playing a card game. With reinforcement and practice, students and parents can both become less apprehensive about math.”

In addition to games and activities, refreshments and prizes will be provided, and perhaps even a visit from LES’s very own Math Wizard. For more information, please contact the elementary school at 845-292-5400.
