Helping Parents Help Their Children: Supports for Early Patterning and Numeracy Development

The overarching goal of this project was to develop a more comprehensive theory of parents’ support of their children’s early mathematics development, including how the frequency and complexity of parental support of children’s math development can be promoted. It built on a previous Heising-Simons grant to Dr. Rittle-Johnson (Grant #2016-093). The attached components are research on parents home math support and how to foster and change their beliefs, knowledge, and support for early math skills.
