Family Math Games Night
On January 12, 2026, Shuswap Middle School hosted its K–3 and Grades 4–8 Family Math Games Night, welcoming 30 families for an evening of engaging, hands‑on math activities. Using cards, dice, and take‑home game kits, families explored fun ways to strengthen counting, basic facts, place value, and problem‑solving skills.
Parents received practical strategies to support math fluency at home, while students built confidence through play‑based learning. With both grade‑level sessions running simultaneously, the event created a lively, collaborative atmosphere that celebrated learning and family connection.
Family Math Games Night supports and connects to SD83’s Strategic Priorities by strengthening numeracy (Intellectual Development), fostering welcoming and connected school communities (Human & Social Development), and deepening partnerships with families (Community Partnership Development). Through hands‑on learning, family engagement, and confidence‑building activities, the event reflects the district’s commitment to empowering students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
