- Math skills are crucial for children's academic success and future adult outcomes like employment and income.
- Parenting factors, such as parental education and the frequency of math-related activities at home, significantly influence children's math performance, along with children's cognitive skills like inhibitory control and number acuity.
- The study highlights that both parent-level and child-level factors uniquely contribute to children's math abilities, suggesting these areas could be targeted for interventions to boost early math skills.
