Broadening Our Understanding of Early Math Support at Home and at School

Sat, April 13, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 112B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Children’s math knowledge before kindergarten is predictive of their later academic achievement and life success. Parents’ home numeracy support is positively associated with and predictive of their children’s later math skills. More recent studies, however, have highlighted the importance of non-numeric math support for children’s broad math achievement. Additionally, teacher math support in preschool is understudied. This symposium examines current research on early math support by parents and teachers including often overlooked non-numeracy skills: patterning and spatial support. Five research projects will be presented varying in the factors of math support included, the type of non-numerical support, and methodology. These projects promote a broader understanding of the factors of early math support at home and school.
