"Family Math Night is a must-have resource for administrators, teachers, and parents. This exciting resource has a wealth of engaging activities centered around developing mathematical reasoning. Parents and students work together to complete experiments, solve puzzles, or play games all while having rich conversations about mathematics and learning that math can be FUN!"

"Family Math Night is an excellent resource for the elementary building. Not only can these activities be easily incorporated into family involvement events such as math nights, but a classroom teacher can also seamlessly use them in stations during guided math.  All guesswork has been taken out because of Taylor-Cox’s thorough descriptions and because of all the manipulative resources included.  An educator will find the first page of each activity incredibly handy, while the second page is a wonderful way to encourage mathematical discourse not only between family members but also within student groups in the classroom!"
