Japanese Children's Numerical Competencies: Age- and Schooling-Related Influences on the Development of Number Concepts and Addition Skills.

Naito, Mika; Miura, Hisayoshi

Developmental Psychology, v37 n2 p217-30 Mar 2001

Investigated the development of number concepts and addition skills in Japanese children. Found that children's use of addition strategies, rather than their solution accuracy, changed primarily as a function of schooling, not age. Children's Base 10 number concepts improved with the amount of schooling, as well as with other social and age-related factors. (Author/KB)
