http://lhsparent.org/ Family Math was developed in the 1980's at the University of California, Berkeley. This web site is a new initiative that has been developed for parents. The "Parent Portal" was created to provide all parents with clear and practical advice, active participation tools, and solid math and science resources for helping their children learn. It is accessible and practical -- a one-of-a-kind resource for every involved parent.
