Family engagement plays a crucial role in students' success in mathematics, yet many families feel unsure about how to best support their children's math learning. This session will explore effective strategies for building strong partnerships between schools and families to enhance student achievement and foster a positive attitude toward mathematics. Participants will learn practical approaches to engage families in meaningful ways, from hosting math nights to providing accessible resources that demystify math concepts. We will also explore how to bridge the gap between classroom instruction and home support, encouraging collaboration that reinforces learning beyond the school day. Special focus will be given to strategies that are inclusive of culturally and linguistically diverse families. By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with tools to create welcoming environments that invite families into the learning process, empowering them to actively participate in their child's mathematical growth.
