Abstrakt: As rural parents can face barriers that are different from those encountered by suburban and urban parents, this study sought to assess the level of rural parents' satisfaction with their level of involvement in their children's mathematics education in a rural location in the Midwestern United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven parents from one rural school district. Parents' satisfaction with their level of involvement in their children's mathematics education correlated highly with their children's success in school mathematics. Another result found that often at least one of the rural parents in each household commuted a great distance each day from where their children attended school, but that the commuting parent was the parent most likely to help children with mathematics homework. Implications of this finding are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
