Bedtime Math

While reading Time Magazine on my flight home from D.C., I came across an interesting article about trying to get parents to focus on math with their kids as much as they focus on reading a bedtime story nightly.  The article really sparked my interest and so I thought I would share.  

The website, Bedtime Math, creates a math problem/story every day along with questions for multiple levels of math readiness (Wee-Ones, Little-Kids and Big-Kids).   They do a good job of making the problems/stories interesting, short, relevant and fun.  I thought some of you might appreciate this as parents of middle schoolers and possibly younger ones.  The big-kid questions are good mental math practice for your kids, include some interesting facts and could make talking about math a little more natural for your family. This could even been something that your middle schooler does with a younger sibling to benefit them both.   Here is a brief flyer explaining the website and how to use Bedtime Math. Enjoy!
