“…Parents self‐reported the quantity and quality of DHNP using the DHNP‐i (Alam & Dubé, 2022b). The quantity of DHNP was assessed via three constructs: frequency of use, device type, and operating system.…”

“…The home is children's first informal learning institution, and theoretically DHNP should have a large impact on children's mathematics knowledge. Given these issues, Alam and Dubé (2022a) recently proposed a model of DHNP which consists of two structural components, that is, outer and inner model. In the outer model, parents', and children's factors (such as mathematics anxiety, belief) and their relationship (such as support for autonomy) fall under the implicit components of the HNE.…”

“…Following that, the DHNP model includes the quantity and quality components in its inner model as explicit aspects of the HNE. To understand the quantity and quality of DHNP, Alam and Dubé (2022b) developed and validated a DHNP inventory (DHNP‐i), which was categorized into two separate sections: human and digital factors.…”

“…Given these concerns, the purpose of the current study was to examine several components of the DHNP model, originally proposed by Alam and Dubé (2022a), and their impacts on elementary‐aged children's mathematics knowledge. In this study, we evaluated several components of the model and used children's mathematics knowledge across domains as outcome measures (see Figure 1 for the model).…”

Background A strong knowledge of mathematics, beginning at the elementary level, is critical for participation in today's complex world. The home may be one way to facilitate individualized mathematics instruction, given that children spend more time at home than in an academic institution. Therefore, researchers are interested to see whether the home numeracy environment (HNE) can provide a solid foundation for children's mathematics understanding. Further, children's digital mathematics exploration at home is increasingly common (e.g., using math apps). Objectives The present study evaluates the digital home numeracy practice (DHNP) model and explores its effect on children's mathematics knowledge across five domains (numeration, number operation, pattern recognition, spatial sense, and applied problem‐solving). Methods To conduct this study, 117 Canadian parents and their children from Grade 1 through 5 completed a DHNP survey and a range of in‐person mathematics measures. Results and Conclusions The results identified significant relations between parents and children's implicit mathematics factors (e.g., math anxiety, motivation). Children's mathematics anxiety and parents' academic estimations and expectations for their children positively predicted children's mathematics knowledge. In terms of DHNP components, parental involvement in DHNP predicted children's numeration and applied problem‐solving knowledge. Implications Taken together, the results detail the contribution of parental and child factors to children's mathematics knowledge and suggest that parents adjust their role in DHNP according to their children's mathematics ability.
