Abstract
Young children's early math experiences are culturally situated, occurring in the context of everyday family interactions and routines. Yet, we know little about the math experiences in culturally and linguistically minoritized families, including those from Latine communities. In this article, we provide the first review of research on family math in the homes of young Latine children in the United States. We identify shared patterns and inconsistencies across studies on family math cognitions and math practices, and their relations with children's outcomes. We argue for the need to use a sociocultural lens to examine and understand family math, and offer recommendations that center families' experiences to generate foundational knowledge, capture within-group variation, and use more flexible and culturally relevant measures.
期刊介绍:
Child Development Perspectives" mission is to provide accessible, synthetic reports that summarize emerging trends or conclusions within various domains of developmental research, and to encourage multidisciplinary and international dialogue on a variety of topics in the developmental sciences. Articles in the journal will include reviews, commentary, and groups of papers on a targeted issue. Manuscripts presenting new empirical data are not appropriate for this journal. Articles will be obtained through two sources: author-initiated submissions and invited articles or commentary. Potential contributors who have ideas about a set of three or four papers written from very different perspectives may contact the editor with their ideas for feedback.
