Blevins-Knabe, Belinda; Austin, Ann Berghout; Musun, Linda; Eddy, Annette; Jones, Randall M.
Early Child Development and Care, v165 p41-58 Dec 2000
Examined aspects of early childhood environment related to developing mathematical concepts in three studies. Found that family day care providers rated math skills as less important than others, but believed skills were acquired the same way. Parents and providers reported similar frequencies for engaging children in math activities. Activity frequency was not correlated with 3- to 7-year-olds' mathematics achievement. (Author/KB)
