Guest Post! Part 4 and final post in the series for parents featuring instructional resources for parents. (You can access Part 1: Preschool Edition here, Part 2: Elementary Edition here, and Part 3: Secondary Edition here ) Inspired by the interview with Jon Regino on Anna Stokke’s Chalk and Talk mailbag episode, Jon has graciously contributed an amazing collection of resources that are very accessible for parents to use to support their children at home.
I would once again like to give a huge thank you to Jon for his inspiration and support in creating this series. If you know of a parent that is searching for resources to help their child’s math learning, please share this series with them.
