Parents learned about the curriculum, were taught strategies by Brophy's math coaches and then played math games with their children.
More than 50 Brophy Elementary School families enjoyed the school's annual math night last Thursday.
Math coaches Vicky Barstow and Kate Coleman met with parents, reviewed the school’s math curriculum and discussed strategies for parents to use at home to encourage and practice good math skills with their children, said Brophy Elementary Principal Frank Rothwell.
Students were entertained in the gym with a movie, while the presentation was given in the cafeteria. Once the coaches’ presentation ended, a Q&A session for parents followed.
