Sari, Mehmet Hayri; Szczygiel, Monika – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Although interest in mathematics anxiety in young children (6-11 years) has increased recently, the results of previous studies on the role of mathematics anxiety in the relationship between number sense and math performance are inconsistent. The study's main objective was to establish whether math anxiety is a mediator or a moderator in the…

Rubach, Charlott; Bonanati, Sabrina – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Parents experience difficulty helping their children with math at home. Math teachers can provide guidance or materials to parents. Little is known about whether this help from math teachers has benefits for parental support at home and thus contributes to students' academic development in math. The current study examines longitudinal associations…
