Research Findings

During this five year project, the Esso Family Math Team learned a great deal from all those who were involved, including leaders, volunteers and families. It is feedback from these individuals that allowed the Team to continually modify the resources, and the program itself, in an effort to ensure success for community-based Family Math programming.
