Background and Aims: There is currently a dearth of tools to assess parents' use of effective interactive strategies for supporting early mathematics learning. One potential such strategy is sustained shared thinking. This study therefore constructed and validated a scale for measuring parents' use of sustained shared thinking during joint…

Maura Varley Gutiérrez; Carolina Napp-Avelli; Beatriz Quintos; Fany Salazar; Erin Turner; Marta Civil – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2024
In this article, we explore the power relationships and positioning that occurred between caregivers and teachers who engaged in mathematics tasks as a part of a year-long project involving workshops. Specifically, we explore the shifts in power and positioning that occurred when the tasks were grounded in the caregivers' funds of knowledge, in…

Abtahi, Yasmine; Graven, Mellony; Lerman, Stephen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
From a Marxian/Vygotskian perspective, learning is social in origin and it happens in the presence of others that are more knowledgeable. Extending this view to the learning of mathematics, such learning also becomes inseparable from the presence of others (people and artefacts). Researchers over decades have studied different interactions to see…

Assaf, Fatima; Graves, Barbara – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Drawing on sociocultural theories, this study considers the multiple resources multilingual children use to communicate mathematically. We engaged with three children and a parent, in order to understand how multilingual children express their mathematical reasoning. The family was given a mathematical problem solving activity designed to…

Williams, Keith; Swift, Jennifer; Williams, Hefin; Van Daal, Victor – Educational Research, 2017
Background: This paper is a qualitative evaluation of a small-scale pilot study that attempted to generate parental involvement in children's learning. It used problem-solving mathematics homework in order to raise the children's self-efficacy, or, put another way, the child's belief that success lies in their own hands. Purpose: Homework is often…

Although the Common Core State Standards call on parents to support professional educators' efforts for improving student academic achievement, we have yet to examine how to best support parents in achieving this goal. The present study addresses this need by examining a five-month mathematics intervention which aimed to increase awareness of the…

Shivraj, Pooja; Geller, Leanne Ketterlin; Basaraba, Deni; Geller, Josh; Hatfield, Cassandra; Näslund-Hadley, Emma – Global Education Review, 2018
Research indicates that parental involvement in children's education is positively related to academic achievement in mathematics; however, there are few studies on the role of parental involvement in the context of developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to document the iterative development using design-based research (DBR) of a…

Civil, Marta; Díez-Palomar, Javier; Menéndez, José María; Acosta-Iriqui, Jesús – Adults Learning Mathematics, 2008
In this paper we discuss a study that looks at the kinds of practices that Latino parents use to support their children's learning of mathematics. Some of our findings reveal that parents react to their children's mathematics education looking back to their own experiences as students. Thus, in some cases, they are faced with pedagogical…

Anderson, Ann; Anderson, Jim; Shapiro, Jon – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2004
The purpose of the study reported in this article was to explore the mathematical discourse in which four dyads engaged while sharing the storybook "One Snowy Night" (Butterworth, 1989) while at home or in other locations (e.g., day care centers). Each dyad consisted of a mother and her four-year-old child. Various discourse patterns were evident,…
