THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH FAMILY MATHEMATICS IN DEVELOPING THE NUMERICAL SENSE SKILLS OF KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN

Abstract

This study aims to identify the role of educational partnerships between the family and the kindergarten in the development of numerical sense skills in kindergarten children، The study employed the descriptive-analytical method, and the study was applied to a sample of (150) parents and (50) female teachers، The data were collected through a questionnaire that included (13) items and a note card to monitor the children's performance in daily practices.

The results showed that the teachers' practices in employing numerical sense in daily routines came at a high level, especially in routine activities such as table arrangement and rowing, while a relative weakness was shown in counting، The results also showed that parental partnership came at a moderate level, where the family's role is more focused on simple counting activities than abstract concepts such as large numbers and fractions، The study recommends increasing attention to advanced numerical skills, and activating counseling programs for families to enhance their role in supporting children's learning.
