Early Home Learning Support and Home Mathematics Environment as Predictors of Children's Mathematical Skills between Age 4 and 6: A Longitudinal Analysis Using Video Observations and Survey Data
Zhao, Yiran Vicky; Gibson, Jenny Louise
Child Development, v94 n6 pe377-e392 2023
This large-scale and longitudinal study examines early home support for learning, formal/informal home mathematics activities, and their associations with children's mathematical development between age two and six. Data were collected in Germany between 2012 and 2018, N = 1184 (49% girls, 51% boys), and 15% of children had parents with a migration history. Linguistically and mathematically stimulating, attentive, and responsive parent-child engagement at age two predicted children's mathematical skills at age four and six (small-to-medium effect size). Both formal and informal home mathematical activities at age five predicted children's mathematical skills at age six (small effect size), and were associated with children's prior mathematics attainment. This study also provides indicators where individual differences and social circumstances are relevant to understanding different early mathematics outcomes.
