This study examines sex-differences in expressed attitudes of parents and students
towards primary school mathematics before and after involvement in a Family
Maths Program. The study involved the families of Year 3 and 4 students at a
Catholic primary school in the ACT, and used an illuminative evaluation
methodology.
Results suggest that:
the effects of running a Family Maths Program were not confined to the
parents and children who attended the formal sessions;
at this primary school, mothers have a more active involvement than fathers
in the development of attitudes to maths; and
there is need for a more integrated approach to the use of calculators and
computers in the mathematics curriculum at this school.
