The impact of early math literacy is crucial for supporting children’s development and setting them up for a bright future. By starting early, making math fun, and including parents/caregivers—all areas in which children’s museums excel—we can create a world where everyone feels confidence in their abilities to do math.
Nurturing Numeracy Skills and Math Literacy in Children’s Museums aims to support caregivers and children in their math confidence and math skills through experiences at children’s museums. ACM, through a grant from Simons Foundation International administered by the Simons Foundation’s Science, Society & Culture division, is pleased to announce the cohort of twenty museums to participate in this program and develop engaging and effective interventions to achieve this goal.
“The innovation and unique perspectives of small children’s museums serve as inclusive models for building experiences and building relationships to the communities we serve.”
