Book Synopsis Tensions in Mathematics Home-school Partnerships by : Bridget Wadham
Download or read book Tensions in Mathematics Home-school Partnerships written by Bridget Wadham and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective mathematics home-school partnerships that enhance student learning are an area of interest for educators and researchers worldwide. Developing such partnerships can be challenging and complex, however, especially in communities that are culturally and linguistically diverse. This study focuses on the mathematics home-school partnership within a low-socio-economic primary school in South Auckland, New Zealand. It investigates the experiences, beliefs, perceptions, and practices of parents and teachers concerning mathematics teaching and learning. The study had 35 participants; 18 teachers and 17 parents. Teachers participated in an online questionnaire that inquired about how they engage families in student’s mathematics learning, alongside their perceptions regarding how families support their children at home. Parents participated in one of five focus groups during which they discussed their personal experiences of assisting their children to learn mathematics. Focus groups were designed with community members to be culturally and linguistically inclusive, including providing translation support and culturally-appropriate ways of working. Findings from the questionnaire and focus groups revealed that a number of tensions were present in the existing mathematics home-school partnership. These occurred within the reporting, homework, student-led conference practices and were additionally caused by ineffective communication concerning mathematics strategies and vocabulary. The study also identified that parents in this community showed a high level of agency and aspired for their children to succeed in mathematics. The findings suggest that existing practices within the mathematics home-school partnership need to be reviewed and improved to meet the needs of the parents within the community. Furthermore, teachers need to provide clear explanations of the strategies they teach in class to parents, as well as being mindful of how they respond to different strategies that children bring into the classroom from home. Policymakers also need to consider the needs and desires of parents when reviewing and amending educational policies such as reporting.

Book Synopsis Teaching Math to Multilingual Students, Grades K-8 by : Kathryn B. Chval
Download or read book Teaching Math to Multilingual Students, Grades K-8 written by Kathryn B. Chval and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using strengths-based approaches to support development in mathematics It’s time to re-imagine what’s possible and celebrate the brilliance multilingual learners bring to today’s classrooms. Innovative teaching strategies can position these learners as leaders in mathematics. Yet, as the number of multilingual learners in North American schools grows, many teachers have not had opportunities to gain the competencies required to teach these learners effectively, especially in disciplines such as mathematics. Multilingual learners—historically called English Language Learners—are expected to interpret the meaning of problems, analyze, make conjectures, evaluate their progress, and discuss and understand their own approaches and the approaches of their peers in mathematics classrooms. Thus, language plays a vital role in mathematics learning, and demonstrating these competencies in a second (or third) language is a challenging endeavor. Based on best practices and the authors’ years of research, this guide offers practical approaches that equip grades K-8 teachers to draw on the strengths of multilingual learners, partner with their families, and position these learners for success. Readers will find: • A focus on multilingual students as leaders • A strength-based approach that draws on students’ life experiences and cultural backgrounds • An emphasis on maintaining high expectations for learners’ capacity for mastering rigorous content • Strategies for representing concepts in different formats • Stop and Think questions throughout and reflection questions at the end of each chapter • Try It! Implementation activities, student work examples, and classroom transcripts With case studies and activities that provide a solid foundation for teachers’ growth and exploration, this groundbreaking book will help teachers and teacher educators engage in meaningful, humanized mathematics instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home-School Partnerships (HSPs) with an academic focus have been shown to improve students’ academic outcomes. There is a genuine need to improve academic outcomes for students in New Zealand as international measures continue to identify a large minority of students who underachieve, including in mathematics. This study examines the effects of an HSP intervention on parents’ ability to support their child’s learning in mathematics. There were three phases in the study comprising a profiling phase, an intervention phase and an evaluation phase. The setting for the study was an urban, co-educational, decile 7, state secondary school with approximately 1100 students. The study used Bronfenbrenner’s General Ecological model as its theoretical frame. The profiling phase of the research involved surveying 60 parents of Year 9 students who had been identified as achieving below national averages in mathematics upon entry to secondary school. Key findings from this survey were that parents strongly believed that learning mathematics was important and their involvement with their child’s learning was important. Over half of the profiling parents believed they could offer useful support for their child’s mathematical learning but the rest (30% -45%) believed they are unable to offer help. Homework was identified as the main enabling factor for providing support, with parental or family mathematics ability identified as another enabler but also the main barrier. The intervention phase was a mathematically focussed HSP involving six of the families from the profiling phase. The intervention had two important features. Firstly, a framework was developed and used to align support strategies to the individual requirements of each family. Secondly, participants were involved in co-constructing the intervention they used at home with their child. The intervention consisted of four workshops over 11 weeks attended by parents, the researcher and a research assistant. Data from the intervention was used to identify which strategies parents adopted for use. Results showed that strategies fell into three broad categories; access, engagement and supervision. All parents used a range of strategies over the course of the intervention. Results from the intervention also allowed the researcher to recognise the importance of capitalising on proximal processes. The evaluation phase used data from six sources; the workshop notes, pre- and postintervention questionnaires, research journals, meeting notes and emails and other correspondence, to form case study narratives. These were coded using a mixture of deductive and inductive analysis and with student achievement data were used to provide answers to the remaining sub-research questions. There were three key findings from the evaluation. Firstly, the presence of an appropriate artefact and access to mathematical expertise were required for parental support of their child’s learning of mathematics to be effective. The second key finding was that over the course of the intervention there were consistent, positive shifts in participants’ attitudes toward their own skill, confidence and ability to find help to support their child’s learning of mathematics. The final key finding was that parents adopted multiple strategies to support their child’s learning of mathematics. There were also positive benefits found relating to the relationships between the parent and child.
