Transition Mathematics Project

Parent involvement and engagement in school is more important than ever. What we know is that students with engaged parents are more likely to earn higher grades and test scores, enroll in higher level programs, and graduate and go to college. With this in mind, it's no surprise then that TMP has been working to more effectively reach out to parents to talk about math.
With the help of some very engaged parents and the TMP local partnerships, a new parent brochure – Planning 4 Math Success – has been created and added to our expanded online marketing toolkit. TMP and local project partners have been initiating meetings with parent groups since January 2007 to elicit feedback and suggestions on how best to communicate with them. The parent meetings have also sought to raise awareness not only of the importance of math, but of concrete action steps that can be taken now to help ensure the math success of all students. Four clear, concrete steps with corresponding tips and suggestions make up the new brochure. And Math Lab, TMP’s web-based parent / student resource repository, builds on the content of the new brochure.

You’ll find these resources and much more in the new parent portal.
