Numeracy Engagement Patterns of U.S. Latine Families
Jimena Cosso; Gigliana Melzi
Journal of Cognition and Development, v26 n1 p158-173 2025
Recently, there have been calls to build a more inclusive knowledge base of the home numeracy environment (HNE) by diversifying the populations in our descriptive research. Given that Latine children are the fastest-growing population in the U.S. it is of the utmost importance to include Latine families and children in these efforts. The present study examined how U.S. Latine families support their children's early math learning by: (1) identifying distinct numeracy engagement patterns, and (2) examining if these patterns were related to families' demographic characteristics. Participants were 488 caregivers (M[subscript child-age] = 4.29 years, SD = 1.23). We found two profiles of Latine family numeracy engagement: a "Balanced Numeracy Engagement" and a "Non-Play-Numeracy Engagement." Caregivers' formal educational level and relationship to the child were significantly associated with the profiles. Findings reflect the importance of understanding the variability within Latine families when engaging in numeracy activities.
