Abstract
Children with highly math anxious parents learn less math each year than children with low math anxious parents. To examine one explanation for this phenomenon, we rated the quality of parents’ math instruction (explanation quality, intrusiveness, and child’s learning). Parents’ math anxiety was related to the quality of their instruction.
