Resumen

Recent research has shown that home numeracy activities play an important role in children¿s math achievement. In spite of this, findings are not consistent. This study tries to shed light on the relation between home numeracy activities and specific mathematical skills. More specifically, between formal and informal home numeracy activities and mapping skills, symbolic number processing skills and non-symbolic number processing skills. Participants were 212 kindergartners and their families. Students were assessed on symbolic, non-symbolic and mapping tasks. Families completed a home numeracy questionnaire. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that formal home numeracy activities, in addition to general cognitive abilities, predict number processing achievement, exactly, on mapping tasks. These results were interpreted in terms of their educational implications because maths is a prime educational objective. In this sense, we reflect on the importance of knowing when and how home numeracy activities take place, by their relevance on the support to children's learning at school.
