This paper reports on the nature and results of a pilot study conducted with the parents of a Grade 1/2 class. The study investigated the mathematical perceptions of a selected number of parents and used an intervention program designed to encourage them to engage in numeracy activities with their child. Preliminary results indicated that the parents were keen to support contemporary classroom practices and were able to describe and evaluate their children’s mathematical understandings. The findings add to the limited research available on the role that parents can play in their child’s numeracy development.
