Join Carthage faculty and students as they present workshops combining children's books, games and art to help children explore math concepts. Families and their children ages 4 through 10 are invited to attend any or all of our workshops, held in the Niemann Theatre at the Hedberg Library. If you would like to pre-register your child and receive e-mail reminders of workshops, please contact Prisca Moore at pmoore@carthage.edu or (252) 551-5976
The goal of Let's Read Math™ is to spread a joy for mathematics among children and the adults who care for them—at school, at home, or in various out-of-school settings. These workshops are supported by Carthage and a Community Action Grant from the American Association for University Women. The workshops are free. No reservation is required. Refreshments will be served.
