What is "The Family Angle"?
It is a one hour TV program that makes connections between the everyday things that families do together and the math that's covered in middle school. The Family Angle brings Primes ideas about the power of everyday math to parents in their homes.

Why should I watch it?
The Primes television special helps parents see that they do math every day, sometimes without ever realizing it. They see how many of the things that they do in their own lives involve math—the same math that their children learn in middle school.
