I love this idea, though neither DH nor I have ever believed we were "bad" at math. I would be really interested in the books for bedtime, but I think trying to incorporate basic math all day (like counting cookies at snack time) is important.

I think this is so great. One line really stuck out to me - and it's something I rant about every time I get the chance:

"Culturally and socially, it seems we don't think about math as integral a part of parenting as reading. And few adults would say, "I'm not so good at reading." But many people say, "I'm not so good at math." And somehow that's socially acceptable."

Especially with the "new math" techniques that parents rail against all the time (which I think are great!) hopefully parents will start to value math as important skill that they can foster in their children!

@Mrs Green Grass: Have you been using this with D? When you first posted this I downloaded it, and I've been talking though them with L each night. She can kind of get the 'Wee Ones' by herself, and then I talk through the 'Little Kids' with her. I thought she wouldn't be into it, but she's taken to them surprisingly well! I think the focus of laying in bed by ourselves with the lights off helps her focus.

So anyway, thanks for the link!!
