INTRODUCTION The Covid-19 pandemic that is endemic in Indonesia has forced the Indonesian government to limit face-to-face activities and replace them with online learning. The application of online mathematics learning is quite difficult for students and teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. It can also impact changes in the learning process and student learning activities. Tarigan & Simbolon (2015) stated that student activities are an important part that should not be missed in the learning process. Jamaluddin D. et al. (2020) explained that the nature of learning is currently experiencing difficulties due to the outbreak of Covid- 19. Covid-19 is a worldwide pandemic whose spread is exceptionally stressful. Furthermore, public authorities must work together to stem the spread of Covid-19 by providing an approach to allow all citizens to practice social distancing. Such a situation requires an instructive institution to improve the learning system. One type of progress is to do internet or online (in an educational institution). Suitable student learning activities can also affect the effective running of the learning process. (Sumartono, S., & Normalina, 2015). In addition, online learning also impacts the role of parents in guiding children to learn. As Cahyati, Nika & Kusumah (2020) explained, parents should be able to pay attention to their children's learning at home during online learning. Therefore, the role of parents in this Covid-19 pandemic situation has an absolute position.
