A study (Tamis-LeMonda et al., 2013) explored ethnic differences using a set of blocks containing math symbols, letters and images. The researchers observed that Chinese mothers taught symbolic math-related concepts most, followed by African-American mothers and lastly, Latinx mothers. What does this finding suggest?
A) Cultural differences in children's math skills may be explained by the topics/content of what is taught during parent-child interactions
B) Chinese parents are highly sensitive to the innate advanced math skills of their children, and build on those skills by reinforcing math further
C) Collectivistic countries (for example, China) focus on math concepts early on, whereas individualistic countries do not value math as much.
D) Latinx parents do not view math concepts to be important skills for their children to learn, perhaps due to their poverty status in the United States
E) Cultural disparities in math performance that appear early on will disappear later as long as parents change in their behaviors around math
