Why talk about money? Because it makes math meaningful for kids and families—both now and for their future. In this interactive session, program leaders will share different approaches to connecting financial literacy and family math. You’ll learn about the importance of early math, family math, and family financial literacy, and leave with practical strategies and action plans you can use in your work with families and children.
