Parental engagement is a crucial aspect of learning that plays a pivotal role in children's academic success across all subjects. However, mathematics, in particular, is often perceived as an area where out-of-school and home learning is lacking. In their book "Parental Engagement and Out-of-School Mathematics Learning," Tim Jay and Jo Rose set out to challenge this misconception.

Drawing from two extensive research projects that examine children's and their parents' mathematical thinking and learning outside of school, the authors sought to uncover the mathematics involved in everyday activities. Their practical and theoretical findings provide a groundbreaking approach to educational research that challenges and disrupts traditional models and approaches, aiming to harmonize school and home learning.

Through their work, Jay and Rose challenge preconceived ideas and support children in acquiring mathematical understandings. This book is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and parents, as it informs innovative and vital educational policy and practice. By recognizing the importance of parental engagement in mathematics learning, we can create a more inclusive and equitable education system that empowers all children to succeed.
