OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Shared-book reading is a promising avenue for enriching informal adult-child math interactions at home. Many parents report reading to their children on a daily basis and often express a stronger preference for literacy-based activities over math-focused ones. Thus, storybooks provide a familiar context for parents to introduce and reinforce early mathematical concepts. In fact, a growing body of work points to the value of storybooks for stimulating parent math-talk and promoting children’s math learning. Yet, there is much still to learn about ways to maximize the value of shared-reading for math learning. In this presentation, I will present a series of studies that investigated which characteristics of math-related storybooks seem most likely to promote extratextual parent-child math-talk and the ways in which parents invite their children to engage in math-talk during shared book-reading.
