Parents’ maths skills ‘rub off’ on their children, say scientists

Bad at maths? Your parents are to be blamed. Parents who excel at mathematics produce children who would also excel, says a study, which shows a distinct transfer of math skills from parent to child.
The study specifically explored inter-generational transmission -- the concept of parental influence on an offspring’s behaviour or psychology -- in mathematic capabilities.
“Our findings suggest an intuitive sense for numbers has been passed down knowingly or unknowingly from parent to child. Meaning, the math skills of parents tend to ‘rub off’ on their children,” said lead researcher Melissa E. Libertus, Assistant Professor at University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, US.
The study revealed that the performance levels for early school-aged children on standardised mathematic tests could be reliably predicted by their parent’s performance in similar examinations.
Specifically, major correlations in parent-child performance in such key areas as mathematical computations, number-fact recall, and word problem analysis were observed.
In addition, the children’s intuitive sense of numbers - that is, the ability to know that 20 jelly beans are more than 10 jelly beans without first counting them - is predicted by their parents’ intuitive sense of numbers, the researchers said.
“We believe the relationship between a parent and a child’s math capabilities could be some combination of hereditary and environmental transmission,” Libertus added.
The findings represent the first evidence of intergenerational transmission of unlearned, nonverbal numerical competence from parents to children.
The study is an important step toward understanding the multifaceted parental influences on children’s mathematic abilities.
“This research could have significant ramifications for how parents are advised to talk about math and numbers with their children and how teachers go about teaching children in classrooms,” Libertus noted, in the paper published in the journal Developmental Science.
For the study, the math abilities of 54 children between the ages of five and eight as well as 51 parents - 46 mothers and five fathers - between the ages of 30 and 59 were assessed.
Children completed three subtests designed to gauge their capabilities in mathematical computations, basic number-fact recall, and word problems with visual aids.
Parents completed a math fluency subtest as a measure of mathematical ability, and they were surveyed on the importance of children developing certain math skills.

4-year-old UP child prodigy studying in Class IX
Lucknow: Her sister Sushma is 15 and is doing her doctorate in microbiology after completing masters in the same subject.
Her brother Shailendra had passed high school examination at the age of nine and now Ananya, at the age of four, has been admitted straightaway into class nine — and this even before she has started formal schooling.
Ananya, who completes the family trinity, is the youngest starter in this family of child prodigies.
Their father, Tej Bahadur Varma, now a supervisor in the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, had taken Ananya to the market when he met a teacher from the St Mira’s College where his two other children had studied.
While the teacher got talking to the father, Ananya picked up one of her books and started reading it. The teacher was astounded and called Tej Bahadur and Ananya to the school. Ananya was asked to take a test and she was found fit for admission to class nine.
The school manager Vinod Ratra said, “Ananya is even more talented than her siblings. We have sought permission for her admission to class 9 from the district inspector of schools and have cited the cases of her siblings. We are confident of getting the permission and we will also ensure that Ananya gets free education in our institution”.
Incidentally, Sushma was five years old when she was admitted to class nine in the same school.
Tej Bahadur says that his children have never taken tuitions or any special facilities simply because he could never afford them. “Ananya has been a quick learner. She would just pick up any book and start reading even. She even started reading the Ramayana and now remembers most of it by heart. She is a quiet child and never makes demands,” says her mother Chhaya.
About his all three children being prodigies, Taj Bahadur says, “It is all God’s gift. My children wanted to study and I could not afford them good education so probably god gave them exceptional talent. My children have even built a future for their father because it was their fame that got me this job”.
Ananya, however, is undecided about what she wants to become when she grows up.
She smiles and evades questions but her mother says, “We are not going to pressurise her at all. She can choose what she wants to do and we will do our best for her”.
