Zhu, Jinxin; Chiu, Ming Ming – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
Parents are their children's most influential educators, and their joint activities can influence these children's early learning. Past studies with small, non-representative samples do not show a consistent link between early numeracy activities at home and children's mathematics achievement. Specifically, whether or how "early numeracy…
