Below are two suggested workshop agendas for anyone who wishes to use the Early Learning Math at Home resources in sessions with parents and guardians. The first agenda is suggested for work with groups of adults only. The second agenda includes suggestions for sessions that include parents and their children.

Agenda: Early Learning Math at Home for Parents & Guardians 

Agenda: Families with Children Early Learning  Math at Home

CMC hopes you will use these tools in your work with English and Spanish speaking parents so they might in turn work with their children to help them to enjoy, appreciate, and understand mathematics.
