This qualitative study explored the parental support of K-12 students with mathematics during the COVID-19 pandemic. A digital, open-ended survey was completed by parents or caregivers to examine the role they played in their student's school day with a specific focus on the challenges and successes of mathematics learning. The survey was administered after six to eight weeks of remote instruction with at least four weeks of remote instruction remaining. Parents supported learning by teaching, facilitating, promoting independence, and providing resources. Parents mentioned several challenges and some successes during at home mathematics learning. Challenges included student motivation, lack of tools, gaps in learning, and technology access. While some parents reported no successes, others mentioned completing work, reviewing and mastering concepts, and building confidence. |
