Testimonials - Site Leaders and Teaching Volunteers

I would like to express a sincere thank you to the Esso Family Math Team. First, thanks for developing and delivering this wonderful program. You have taken learning and made it fun. Second, thanks for the continuous support we have received. You have guided and assisted us and also given the flexibility to ensure family, facilitator and agency success. We have all enjoyed participating in this program and we are proud to be associated with such a fantastic group!

We had some really nice feedback during "Where's the Math". One Mom actually said, "I don't know what I am going to do on Wednesday nights anymore." She explained that normally she is shy, but at Family Math she has felt very comfortable and she has enjoyed meeting the other parents. Another parent told us that other parents are calling her to find out about the math club. Her son has been showing the other kids at school the activities he learns at Family Math. These stories make me feel as though we have accomplished our goals.

This program widened my view of math and I learned how to encourage mathematical thinking. I feel like I made a difference in each family's life. As a student teacher, I have already used the Math Walk in my practicum. I would like to implement this program in my school when I begin my teaching career. The Family Math Program should be available in every community and every school.

I loved working with the families. It was rewarding to help parents become more comfortable teaching their children about math. Family Math was a great experience!
