Abstract

This study seeks to assess the Malaysian parental involvements in young children's numeracy learning. A questionnaire was administered to 327 parents of kindergarten-going children. The data then analysed descriptively using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version-26. The present survey shows that the parents' knowledge, understanding, and attitude towards preschoolers' numeracy are high. Despite the positive findings, the parents' attitudes and experience in mathematics are moderate. The analysis found that parents need a relevant guide to support their children learning at home using effective instructional strategies. This research's data formed an initial insight to support a comprehensive follow-up study in parental involvement in young children’s numeracy learning. Based on these findings, it is pertinent to investigate the underlying factors and constraints behind these results. The study will benefit researchers, parents, children, school, as well as the entire community in general. Conclusion and future recommendation are further discussed.
