Most five-year-olds in the United States have parents who engage in numeracy-related activities with them at home at least once a week

Figure 3.18 shows the percentages of children whose parents engaged in numeracy-related activities at home with them with different frequency. Just one in ten children had parents who said they played with numbers, counting, measuring or shapes with them less than once a week and just 7% had parents who only engaged in activities designed to help them learn numbers less than once a week. There were no significant associations between a child’s gender and the frequency with which a child’s parents engaged in these activities with them at home. There was also no significant association between socio-economic status and frequency of activities at home to learn numbers. However, there was a statistically significant (but weak) association between SES and frequency of playing with numbers, counters, shapes or measuring, with 25% children in the bottom SES quartile doing so on at least five days a week with their parents, compared to 19% of in the top SES quartile.
