Early Childhood Center is trying to solve that
problem with Adults-Only Free Math Tutoring,

want to know what their children are learning.
Several parents had approached the
school’s math teacher, concerned that they were
unable to help their children with math homework.
Many of these same parents were enrolled
in GED courses, where they were having
trouble with math themselves. Other parents
had not finished high school and needed help
with the skills necessary to assist their children.
To try to meet these various needs, the building’s
math teacher designed a course that would
cover the math from GED courses, as well as
the math being taught in School #82’s classes.
This, she thought, would provide a chance for
enrichment or for simply brushing up on basic
math.
The tutoring session, offered twice to
accommodate parents’ schedules, covered math
skills taught from pre-kindergarten through
fourth grade. Parents learned about fractions,
decimals, and percents; received a packet of
materials; and worked with other parents using
math manipulatives.
Despite parents’ requests for help, the
math tutoring sessions were not nearly as well
attended as the school had hoped. But School
#82 is not giving up. The math teacher plans to
expand the number of topics and sessions and
