How to talk math with your kids - video

Kent Haines is both a math teacher and a dad. In this video, he shares some excellent tips on how to help your children's "math-readiness", expressing it with a modern term. Or we might just say, how to help your children understand their world with math. It's aimed at parents of little children but the ideas ring true for other ages too:

The three important guidelines he shares are:

1. Use math language.
2. Play.
3. Focus on questions, not on answers.

I enjoyed the video!
