Site Leaders

As an individual who may be interested in starting a Family Math Program, you may want to read through the steps that are involved in bringing Family Math into a community. Each of these steps is detailed further in the Coordinator Manuals. Part I of the Early Years Coordinator Manual and Part 1 of the Grades 2-5 Coordinator Manual provide comprehensive overviews of the information the Esso Family Math Team has learned about helping communities to develop Family Math Programs.

Steps Involved in Bringing Family Math into a Community
  • Establish a group of interested community members.

  • Obtain funding.

  • Find an appropriate site.

  • Choose appropriate dates and times.

  • Obtain materials.

  • Recruit Teaching Volunteers.

  • Provide Family Math Training.

  • Register families.

  • Organize meals.

  • Organize child care.

  • Deliver the program.

  • Evaluate the program.

  • Adapt the program to meet community needs.

It is important to note that a Family Math Coordinator can help you with this process, particularly in terms of Family Math Training. See the Early Years Coordinators list and the Grades 2-5 Coordinators list to determine who might be available in your region.

As a Site Leader you will find useful teaching hints for yourself, your teaching volunteers, and your parents at the websites listed on our Great Math Websites page (see link on the left). "Illuminations", "eworkshop" and "mathcats" are three superb websites for anyone who is looking for excellent teaching resources and creative ideas.
