Abstract

This study examines the influence of various factors on students' mathematical literacy, focusing on parental and home environments, technology use, school resources, and social-emotional variables. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design, the research assessed how these elements impact the mathematical performance of students across key areas such as number identification, quantity discrimination, and problem-solving. The findings reveal that parental involvement and home resources do not significantly affect students' mathematical outcomes. Moreover, a considerable gap in technology access suggests a deep digital divide that potentially undermines the educational benefits of digital resources. School factors like teacher support and safety are seen positively, yet they show limited impact on enhancing mathematical skills beyond basic competence. The study underscores the need for educational strategies that better integrate effective technological tools and foster environments that support both the academic and emotional development of students. These insights aim to guide future educational policies and practices to improve mathematical literacy in a holistic and inclusive manner.
