Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Talking to you kids can help math come alive

A somewhat tongue-in-cheek article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports a UB professor says that parents should talk to their children about current events using mathematical terms as part of the explanation in order to help their children better understand the world and perform better in school. The article quotes Ming Ming Chiu, professor of learning and instruction, who said that family chats about society and current events are not common, and occur less that once a month in most households.
