1. Math Talk Cultivating mathematical thinking through parent-child conversations.

2. Our Story (founder will provide photos to create a visual impression of his/their history)

3. Early Math is Critical By kindergarten there is a three-year difference in mathematics developmental level for students from low-resource versus high-resource communities.

4. The Barriers -Lack of awareness -Low quality learning environments/experiences -Generational poverty -Cultural Bias (by gender, by class, by race) (include images on this slide that reflect the barriers)

5. Our Solution: Equipped Parents Equipped Parents are the key Greater impact (4x) Quality more important than Quantity (comparison imagery “parent vs teacher”, then “conversation vs homework”)

6. Math Talk Critical Development Through Quality Conversations Math knowledge and skills (citation) Logical thinking Language development Social skills Cultural & Societal Awareness (1 strong images of parent and child talking, working on math; maybe smaller imagery for each of the developmental categories)

7. Math Talk -a natural way of math education -encourages parent-child educational interaction -accommodates cultural obstacles -engaging, fun, learn anywhere (image for each)

8. Our Strategic Approach -Competency Based (learning trajectory images) -Locally Rooted & Culturally Rich (diversity images) -Experiential (making and doing)

9. Our Model Innovate Develop product prototypes Engage Partnerships & programs with schools + families Evolve Improve products based on measured results Share Findings & Insights Expand products

10. Phase 1 – Innovative Products Picture Book Conversation Cards Animations Apps

11. Phase 1 – Engagement -Parental Engagement -Partnerships with early childhood providers + local organizations. -Community Engagement -Public Art/Math Talk Campaign -Workshops + Public Forums for Families (images represent each engagement category)

12. Phase 1 – Evolve Test Products and Measure Impact Refine products for broader controlled implementation

13. Phase 1 – Goals 1.Innovate – Prototypes of at least 3 products 2.Engage – Pilot products with X preschoolers + X parents/caregivers. – Workshops + Forums engage X families 3.Evolve – Refined products – 1 report and 3 presentations

14. Phase 1 – Impact Impact (measured) 1.Preschoolers – math language development + expanded vocabulary 2.Parents – increased quantity + quality of math related dialogue

15. Funding Phase 1 (basic breakdown of costs and then the sum we wish to raise, plus timeline)
