The model integrates five weekly virtual workshops with mailed, hands-on math kits to promote parent–child interaction and extend learning into everyday home contexts. Using a descriptive mixed-methods design, data were collected from 38 parents of children ages 2–5 in Los Angeles through pre- and post-surveys and focus group data. Survey findings indicated high levels of participation, sustained engagement, and increases in parent-reported child math knowledge across domains such as patterns, shapes, and problem-solving. Parents also reported greater confidence in supporting their children’s math learning and more positive attitudes toward math among their children. Qualitative findings revealed that hands-on activities made math tangible and enjoyable, while shared participation fostered family collaboration and bonding. Together, findings suggest that virtual, practice-based models that combine structured guidance, accessible materials, and relational learning opportunities can effectively reposition math as a collaborative family practice. This study contributes to research on the home math environment by highlighting the importance of interactional quality, caregiver confidence, and culturally grounded approaches to family engagement.
