Margaret R. Brown Elementary School and Seymour-Jackson Elementary School recently had Title I family math night events.

The theme was Mega Mathematicians, and students got to play oversized versions of popular games with their families to teach and enforce skills in counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication and geometry.

Games included jumbo-sized Connect 4, inflatable dice, dominoes and playing cards. After playing each of the five different games, families were given mini versions to take home so parents can continue to work with their children to improve their math skills.

Instructional coaches Bridget Longmeier and Whitney Reinhart worked together to plan the event.

Title I is a federally funded program for qualifying schools to provide students with extra instructional support and services during the school day and unique learning opportunities throughout the year.

A mega-themed literacy night will be conducted at the schools in the spring.
