The Blaine school district has scheduled a free evening to help better prepare students, parents and teachers for a lifetime of math-related skills.

The event is scheduled from 6 to  8 p.m. Thursday, October 22 at the Performing Arts Center and will explore how algebraic reasoning can be developed across grades and examine the algebra that students should know before entering high school.

Mathmatics education specialist Ruth Parker will facilitate.

Free pizza and pop will be offered from 5 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.

Students in fourth grade or older are invited to attend the event. Childcare is available. For more information, call 332-6045.
