Commercial games could provide a vital, engaging home-school connection to support children’s mathematical learning. Our interest is in understanding what scaffolding and approaches parents used to support young 4 to 5 year old children in their mathematical reasoning and game play strategies. Our work could lead to guides and recommendations for parents to playfully engage in mathematical thinking with their children. Research questions investigated include: • Which scaffolding and instructional techniques and approaches were effective and successful at promoting mathematical reasoning and game play strategies?; Which hindered or shut down game play and mathematical reasoning? • At what point did parents fade or remove their instructional support and scaffolding techniques? • What forms of mathematical reasoning were exhibited by young children in game play and/or scaffolded by parents?
