Teachers have recently begun to bring makerspaces — traditionally community-operated physical spaces where people create do-it-yourself projects together — into the classroom. The author tells how she started an after-school program for fifth-grade girls at her former elementary school.

Mathematics Program

Parents need guidance, support, and motivation to learn how to support their young children’s mathematical development in ways that are more foundational and effective. The In Addition Afterschool Mathematics Program serves 24 students in grades 3, 4, and 5 and their parents in an urban neighborhood at a Catholic elementary school. In the In Addition Afterschool Mathematics Program, we see families as partners and build our after-school program around supporting mathematics thinking and discoveries by engaging the whole family.
