Leung & Wu, 2010

(1) parents upgraded themselves in math ability and in confidence and set goals relating to different age of children;

(2) children were given the opportunities to learn in a variety of ways;

(3) promoted parent-child interaction, especially at home; and,

(4) enhanced parent-teacher relationships and stimulated creativity in teacher’s instruction

Method

•This is a case study and I used the method as in Yin (1994).

•By referring to Civil and Bernier (2006), I started with Parents as learners and have parent-child pairs learn math together.

•I referred to curriculum standards and 4 textbooks series (children and parents are from 4 schools) to develop research-based activities suitable for parent-child Math Camp

during Friday afternoons.

30

(31)

Research Based Tasks and Development

• Two characteristics of each activity are: Learn Math together, Promote Parent-Child interaction.

• To explain how to motivate parents and child in learning math

concepts and as well enhance parent-child interaction, I will include one example in Space Strand (S).

31

(32)

Sample Task

Write a story using plane figures (Grade 3 to 6; Space Strand). For plane figures, the child and the parent each do paper folding that results into paper Tangrams.

Each will use all pieces and create an object (e.g. a tree; a kite). Then parent and child will make a story using a tree and a kite and record the story in a diary.

Sharing and communication is emphasized and spatial sense is enhanced, as they can remove the pieces and make other shapes and write different stories.
