Home Numeracy Environments of Preschoolers: Examining Relations Among Mathematical Activities, Parent Mathematical Beliefs, and Early Mathematical Skills (2015, background): “…skill areas in children’s daily experiences (Blevins-Knabe & Musun-Miller, 1996), and most prior research has indicated that parents believe literacy to be more important than mathematics (BlevinsKnabe et al., 2000; Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008), a belief not endorsed by parents in the current study.”
Socioeconomic Status and Preschoolers' Mathematical Knowledge: The Contribution of Home Activities and Parent Beliefs (2015, background): “In fact, some studies suggest that middle SES parents engage in relatively little intentional preparation for kindergarten mathematics, at least in comparison to language and literacy skills (Anders et al., 2012; Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008; LeFevre et al., 2009).”
Examining the Relations Between Executive Function, Math, and Literacy During the Transition to Kindergarten: A Multi-Analytic Approach (2017, background): “Similarly, parents report engaging in significantly more literacy activities at home than math activities (Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008; Skwarchuk, Sowinski, & LeFevre, 2014).”
Math talk during informal learning activities in Head Start families (2015, background): “For example, some parents tend to place a greater emphasis on the importance of literacy development than on mathematics development for their young children (Barbarin et al., 2008; Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008).”
Effectiveness of Parent–Child Number Board Game Playing in Promoting Chinese Kindergarteners’ Numeracy Skills and Mathematics Interest (2017, background): “In a study by Cannon and Ginsburg (2008) using a sample of American parents from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, some parents said that they did not know the numeracy concepts that their preschool children could learn and strategies for helping their preschool children to learn numeracy concepts.”
Maternal Math Talk in the Home and Math Skills in Preschool Children (2016, background): “Another possibility is that mothers who incorporate more math words and concepts into their talk do so because of their beliefs about the importance of mathematics (Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008).”
Do home numeracy and literacy practices of Greek and Canadian parents predict the numeracy skills of kindergarten children? (2010, background): “With respect to parents’ attitudes toward math, we hypothesised that these would be related to their practices for parents in both countries on the view that people are more likely to engage in activities that they enjoy (Cannon and Ginsberg 2008 ).”
