description Several studies have shown that the quality of the home environment has effects on children’s performance. It has been reported that children who are more involved in numeracy activities tend to perform better in mathematics. Thirty-seven mother-child dyads who attended a preschool educational center participated in this study. Data of the frequency of carrying out numerical activities at home were collected as well as socioeconomic status of the family, and parents' expectations and attitudes towards mathematics. Children's mathematical abilities and non-symbolic estimation ability were evaluated. The results show a significant positive correlation between the frequency of carrying out numeracy activities at home and the children's mathematical performance. Possible influences of socioeconomic status and children's ability to estimate are discussed.

Varios estudios han comprobado que la calidad del ambiente del hogar tiene efectos en el desempeño de niñas y niños. Por ejemplo, se ha reportado que los niños que más se involucran en actividades lúdicas con contenido numérico suelen tener mejor rendimiento en el área de las matemáticas. En este estudio participaron 37 díadas madre-hijo que asistían a un centro educativo de educación preescolar. Se recogieron datos sobre la frecuencia de realización de actividades numéricas en el hogar, nivel socioeconómico y expectativas y actitudes de los padres hacia la matemática. Se evaluaron las habilidades matemáticas de los/as niños/as y la capacidad de estimación no simbólica. Los resultados muestran una correlación positiva significativa entre la frecuencia de realización de actividades numéricas en el hogar y el desempeño matemático de los niños. Se discuten posibles influencias del nivel socioeconómico y de la capacidad de estimación de los niños.
