 * **Math and Parents:** Teacher-to-Teacher has developed resources for you to use in implementing the findings of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel. The panel has highlighted promising interventions to improve the mathematical knowledge of young children before they enter kindergarten. Teacher-to-Teacher has created a short film for schools and teachers to share with parents about what they can do to support their children's math knowledge and skills. We hope that you'll share it with parents during open house, conferences, or parent math night. This video and other digital learning opportunities are listed in the new Digital Learning tab on our website.
