Be part of the Equa+tion

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, kids across the nation have fallen more than half a grade level behind in math skills. This is in addition to the two-thirds of eighth graders that were already behind before the pandemic. But many people, especially parents, are completely in the dark on this issue – an issue that could be affecting their child.

To spread the word, Bedtime Math created “Be Part of the Equation,” a new campaign to encourage parents and caregivers to be a big part of their kids’ math teams from the very beginning.
