The purpose of the study was to test a theory of how parent involvement in math education relates to students’ work ethic and confidence in math. It was a study that used pre- and post- questionnaires given to teachers, students, and parents/guardians along with a daily assignment sheet sent home over the duration of four weeks. The results looked for improvement in students’ self-confidence in mathematics through a supportive learning environment and time spent working on mathematics.enMathematics educationParent involvementStudent self-confidenceMaster of EducationDepartment of EducationCollege of Education and Human Service ProfessionsUniversity of Minnesota DuluthPlan Cs (coursework-based master's degrees)Mathematics -- Study and teaching (Secondary)Education, Secondary -- Parent participation.Self-confidence in adolescence.Scholarly Text or Essay
