Publication . Menezes, Luís; Viseu, Floriano; Conceição, Sandra
This study was conducted in the context of the implementation, in Portugal, of a new program of mathematics for primary education, which introduced profound changes over the previous one. In the process of mathematics learning is widely recognized the importance of parents/Guardians (G). Its influence is dependent on the knowledge they have, and on their involvement with the school. It is in this context that this research, which adopts a mixed methodology, stands, trying to understand what parents/G know and think about mathematics program, and what support they provide to their children in the learning of this discipline. Data analysis, resulting from the application of a questionnaire and an interview (with parents/G of two schools, one urban and another one rural), shows that they realize a set of changes in learning of their children, particularly in mental calculation, problem-solving and mathematical reasoning. Parents/G have a favourable opinion about the mathematics program. In terms of parental support in mathematics, parents/G show to be attentive to their children and consider their action essential.
