“Doing the Math”: Maternal Beliefs About Early Mathematics Versus Language Learning

TL;DR: For example, this paper examined how parents approach preschoolers' mathematics learning and how this aligns with early mathematics education research and policy, and found that parents admit to lacking goals for and knowledge about early mathematics, and that mathematics was less often at home, should be emphasized less in preschool, was less interesting to preschoolers, required more direct instruction, and was less of a personal interest and strength.

Differential models for math anxiety in male and female college students

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative importance of several predictors of math anxiety were examined in multiple regression models, including test anxiety, ACT math scores, student perceptions of high-school math teachers' teaching ability, student perception of college math teacher's teaching ability (PCAM), parental support for math skills (PSM), the length of time since completing high school, number of college classes taken, perceived math ability (PMA), and gender.
