Abstract
Previous interventions have seldom promoted family math engagement across family routines, tailored the intervention content to each family's typical routines, or provided videos of real families doing math. This feasibility study examines the effects of Math Made for Me (MM4M), a six-week program fostering math engagement across family routines via videos tailored to each family's typical routines. Participants were 76 parents and their 4-year-old children (M = 53.26 months; 47% female) from mostly middle-income, White backgrounds. Families were randomized into MM4M or a business-as-usual control condition. Parents' math talk, home math activities, and children's math skills were assessed at pre- and post-test. MM4M had positive, moderate-to-large effects on parents' math talk (d = 0.95) and home math activities (d = 0.55) but no effects on children's math skills. Promoting math across routines and tailoring the intervention content is a promising way through which family math engagement can be increased.
