Examined the impact of a bi-generational mathematics intervention with Head Start
families in two studies. Found that intervention children developed more extensive
mathematical knowledge than a comparison group of low-income children. Low-income
parents were willing and able to support the children's mathematical development
once trained to do so, which
enhanced the children's informal mathematical
knowledge. (Author/KB)
