Research suggests that parent involvement in their children’s education plays a significant role in student achievement. Although parents can become involved in children’s education many different ways, according to Catasambis (1998), parents who regularly and actively help and monitor children’s homework have the greatest impact on their children’s academic achievement.
Homework gives an extra practice of what students learn in the classroom, but it can serve other purposes as well. It can provide opportunities for parents to know what their children are learning at school and to become active partners in education to increase student learning. (Walker, Hoover-Dempsey, Whetsel, Green, 2004).

The school also notices that parents, in general, are less likely involved in their children’s learning as children move up in grade.
Student achievement is one of the primary goals of the school. Parent involvement can make a difference in the success of student learning. It would be useful to BCS to know if requiring parent involvement with their children’s homework would increase students’ test scores. The goal of this research project is to see if increasing parent involvement by administrating interactive homework assignments such as TIPS which require parent participation would improve students’ test scores in the 6th grade math …show more content…
A parental consent form will be sent out explaining the purpose and procedure of the project along with an initial survey. The students will be divided into two groups, control and treatment groups, based on the response gathered from consent form. The students’ initial math test scores will be collected from the teacher to establish the baseline, and these will be compared with post test scores at the end of the project. The weekly lesson plan for math will be provided by Mrs. C so that the researcher can develop and prepare homework assignments align with teaching objectives. Interactive homework assignments that require parent involvement at home will be developed following TIPS template and be examined and approved by Mrs. C and then given to her 6th grade students twice weekly for five weeks. Homework will be collected, graded, and checked for parent
