Math Counts Too! Promoting Family Engagement in Math Activities at Home

Abstract: Although librarians typically focus on language and literacy when planning children’s programs, research suggests that math skills are valuable too. Today, proficiency in math is an essential professional skill. Many careers involve math, and math classes act as gateways to attaining degrees in STEM fields.1 In our personal lives, math is used daily to manage household finances and make informed decisions about our health.2 Finally, math skills at school entry are strong predictors of later academic achievemen… Show more

“…Indeed, the pandemic period has been a catalyst for eradicating the school-home separation, creating a compelling reason for parents to participate in pedagogy (Haisraeli and Fogiel-Bijaoui, 2021). The fact that studies on parental involvement in STEM education are mostly at primary school level is because it is thought that parental influence on children's education is greater at younger ages (Desai, 2021;Zippert et al, 2017). Although the fact that the studies are mostly in the survey model means reaching more participants, it also reveals the need for in-depth and experimental interventional studies.…”

“…Dani and Harrison (2021) state that with family participation science nights are important for teachers to get to know different families and ensure interaction. It is known that parents' introducing children to mathematical concepts early, guiding them to explore and talk can have a positive effect on children's mathematics learning (Zippert et al, 2017). Parental beliefs about children's math skills; it is a stronger predictor than the child's self-perception in mathematics and the child's previous mathematics…”

“…Mathematics lessons need to be given to all students from elementary school to equip students with the ability to think logically (Huincahue et al, 2021), analytically (Moreno-Guerrero et al, 2020), systematic (Arthur et al, 2022), critical, and creative (Lin et al, 2017), and able to work together (Darmayanti et al, 2022). Apart from that, from year to year, mathematics develops according to the demands of the times so that people are encouraged to be more creative in developing and applying mathematics as a basic science (Lubis et al, 2021;Zippert et al, 2017). Therefore, it is essential to teach mathematics to students at school (Baiduri et al, 2020;Brookman-Byrne et al, 2019) to produce reliable students in facing changing times.…”

“…Another opinion was expressed by Targated News Service (2015), that mathematics is a very important science of curriculum in the world, because it must be able to invite students to be able to think critically and solve problems that are classified as complex and can compete in this 21st century. While Zipper et al (2017) argue that mathematical skills are very valuable because they are considered professional ;in everyday life mathematics is used to manage finances. Mathematical learning will be more meaningful when learning is dominated by active students while the teacher acts as a facilitator (Smith, 2018).…”
