Parents' Beliefs about Children's Math Development and Children's Participation in Math Activities (2012, background): “Skwarchuk [12] demonstrated that parents’ prior experiences with math were positively related to the frequency of their preschoolers’ math activities and math knowledge.”
Socioeconomic Status and Preschoolers' Mathematical Knowledge: The Contribution of Home Activities and Parent Beliefs (2015, background): “…knowledge (Blevins-Knabe & Musun-Miller, 1996; LeFevre, Polyzoi, Skwarchuk, Fast, & Sowinski, 2010; LeFevre et al., 2009; Melhuish et al., 2008; Skwarchuk, 2009) as well as between parents’ beliefs about early mathematical development and children’s mathematical knowledge (Barbarin et al.,…”
Home Numeracy Environments of Preschoolers: Examining Relations Among Mathematical Activities, Parent Mathematical Beliefs, and Early Mathematical Skills (2015, background): “…and subtracting objects, comparing, counting by 2’s) predicted higher achievement scores on a measure of mathematics performance, whereas a higher frequency of basic activities (e.g., counting, reciting numerals, reading and writing numbers) predicted lower achievement scores (Skwarchuk, 2009).”
Math talk during informal learning activities in Head Start families (2015, background): “…activities is for children to learn about numbers, such as engaging in number-related activity books and worksheets; explanations of number concepts; and practicing number skills, such as identifying written numbers (Huntsinger, Jose, Larson, Balsink Krieg, & Shaligram, 2000; Skwarchuk, 2009).”
Distinct Influences of Mothers and Fathers on Kindergartners’ Numeracy Performance: The Role of Math Anxiety, Home Numeracy Practices, and Numeracy Expectations (2017, background): “exposing children to numeracy early in their lives might also expose their children to early numeracy activities more often (Skwarchuk, 2009).”
“When” Students Miss School: The Role of Timing of Absenteeism on Students’ Test Performance (2017, background): “Prior research has found that home numeracy activities are less frequent than home literacy activities (Anders et al., 2011; LeFevre et al., 2009; Skwarchuk, 2009; Tudge & Doucet, 2004).”
The Impact of Family Involvement on the Education of Children Ages 3 to 8: A Focus on Literacy and Math Achievement Outcomes and Social-Emotional Skills. (2013, background): “One study’s provocative finding that parents’ interactions on more complex math activities at home may be more beneficial for children’s math outcomes (Skwarchuk, 2009) raises important questions about what is the optimal content of age-appropriate and ability-challenging activities — both basic and”
Effectiveness of Parent–Child Number Board Game Playing in Promoting Chinese Kindergarteners’ Numeracy Skills and Mathematics Interest (2017, background): “However, using a sample of predominantly Caucasian, middleclass families, Skwarchuk (2009) demonstrated that compared to parents who focused on basic numeracy content (e.g., counting objects, reciting and printing numerals) during joint activities (as shown in diaries written by parents and…”
Maternal Math Talk in the Home and Math Skills in Preschool Children (2016, result): “…range of actions, mainly focused on foundational skills (e.g., counting, naming numbers, teaching numbers, recognizing written numerals; Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008; LeFevre et al., 2009; Skwarchuk, 2009), compared to the range captured via other research methods, such as observation or experiments.”
