Wright Group/McGraw-Hill Launches Everyday Mathematics Parent Connection Web Site

Parents of PreK-6 students using Everyday Mathematics® from Wright Group/McGraw-Hill now have a comprehensive online resource to help their children succeed in elementary math. The new Parent Connection Web site is available at http://www.wrightgroup.com/parent_connection/index.html.

The Everyday Mathematics Parent Connection Web site explains the philosophies and strategies behind the research-based curriculum and provides tips and activities parents can use with children at home. Parents also can read about how schools and districts have made academic gains with Everyday Mathematics.

"Parental involvement is such a crucial element in the road to academic success, and we wanted to equip parents of students in Everyday Mathematics classrooms with the tools to make an impact at home," said Bodie Marx, executive vice president of Wright Group/McGraw-Hill. "The Everyday Mathematics Parent Connection Web site also aids teachers who now have a go-to site for them to suggest to parents."
