早期的数学技能与后来的数学成就和教育程度有关，这反过来又预测了职业选择，收入，健康和财务决策。重要的是，儿童在早期数学表现方面存在很大差异，父母的数学参与是一个关键的预测因素。然而，大多数先前的工作都研究了母亲与学龄前和学龄儿童的数学参与。在这份注册报告中，我们测试了母亲和父亲参与2至3岁幼儿数学活动与儿童数学表现之间的并行关联。母亲和父亲在参与数学活动方面没有差异，并且父母的数学参与与幼儿的数学技能有关。父亲的数学参与与幼儿的数字和数学语言技能有关，但与他们的空间技能无关。母亲的数学参与只与幼儿的数学语言技能有关。重要的是，关联可能是特定领域的，因为父母的识字参与与数学表现的测量无关。母亲和父亲的数学活动与幼儿数学技能的发展有着独特的关系，未来需要对这些联系的细微差别进行研究。
Early mathematics skills relate to later mathematics achievement and educational attainment, which in turn predict career choice, income, health and financial decision‐making. Critically, large differences exist among children in early mathematics performance, with parental mathematics engagement being a key predictor. However, most prior work has examined mothers' mathematics engagement with their preschool‐ and school‐aged children. In this Registered Report, we tested concurrent associations between mothers' and fathers' engagement in mathematics activities with their 2‐ to 3‐year‐old toddlers and children's mathematics performance. Mothers and fathers did not differ in their engagement in mathematics activities, and both parents' mathematics engagement related to toddlers' mathematics skills. Fathers' mathematics engagement was associated with toddlers' number and mathematics language skills, but not their spatial skills. Mothers' mathematics engagement was only associated with toddlers' mathematics language skills. Critically, associations may be domain‐specific, as parents' literacy engagement did not relate to measures of mathematics performance above their mathematics engagement. Mothers' and fathers' mathematics activities uniquely relate to toddlers' developing mathematics skills, and future work on the nuances of these associations is needed.
