Abstract

Taking into consideration that the home environment can impact on young children’s mathematical knowledge, this study investigates adults ’ beliefs regarding the importance of adult interactions with children and mathematics. It also investigates beliefs regarding the importance of receiving guidance for these interactions. Results indicated that in general, adults, regardless of the types of relationships they had with children, believed in the importance of their interactions with children and mathematics, but felt it was less important to receive guidance. Participants ’ reasons for both positive and negative beliefs are explored.
