Abstract
In this chapter, we build on ideas of mathematical resilience presented in a previous chapter (Lee and Johnston-Wilder, this volume) and illustrate how the notion of mathematical resilience and the growth zone can be used to improve the emotional experience of learning mathematics at home. We introduce the notion of mathematical safeguarding as an intrinsic part of the parent's role. We also introduce math, as experienced typically in the home, as accessible, linked, inclusive, valued, engaging (ALIVE) and contrast this with math as experienced typically in school. We demonstrate the power of the “growth zone model” in bringing parents from mathematical exclusion to inclusion and curiosity, and learning how to apply safeguarding to the practice of learning mathematics.
