Peran Orang Tua Dalam Menumbuhkan Cinta Matematika Pada Anak Sejak Dini

Abstract

Parental involvement in children's education is a form of parental support for their children, both at home and at school. Parental involvement can take the form of providing resources for children, in the form of spending time with children and taking interest and attention towards children. This is an effective strategy to support children's learning success. Aware of the importance of the role of parents in children's education, SD Negeri 1 Kota Karang often holds meetings with students' parents, but in certain subjects it is still a problem, such as mathematics. Students at SD Negeri 1 Kota Karang need parental support to foster children's love for mathematics subjects. Considering the importance of mathematics for students, community service activities were held with the aim of instilling the role of parents in fostering a love of mathematics from elementary school level. The activity was held at SD Negeri 1 Kota Karang in May 2024 with 20 parents of students participating. The results of the activity show that this socialization is useful in raising parental awareness in instilling a love of mathematics from an early age in students. Apart from that, another benefit of the activity is that students like mathematics lessons more than before the activity was carried out.
