Sarah H. Eason studies how young children develop early math (and related science and literacy) skills, with a particular focus on how parents and caregivers talk with and support children during everyday activities like play, puzzles, and shape sorting. Her work examines the 'home math environment'—including parents' number talk, math anxiety, and mindsets—and how these factors relate to children's learning outcomes, often in preschool-aged populations and across different family backgrounds.
