Center for Family Math

This website is dedicated to supporting Family Math – math concepts and interactions occurring in the everyday activities of families children—from the day children are born to the day they graduate high school. Research shows that everyday math conversations add up, creating better school and life outcomes. Everyone can be good at math! Parents should be sure to check out the parent-reviewed tools, such as this Make-it Math guide.

The Center for Family Math also provides educators with a way to assess their competencies when it comes to family math. “Launched in 2026, the Family Math Core Competencies provide a shared framework for educators, family-facing practitioners, and community leaders to recognize, build on, and extend the math learning already happening at home. Grounded in research and aligned with the Family Engagement Core Competencies, this resource outlines the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to strengthen family–school partnerships in mathematics across four domains: reflect, connect, collaborate, and lead alongside families. Explore the competencies to support meaningful, asset-based family math engagement.”
