Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined developmental relationships among numerical abilities tasks and number reading or writing task in young and older children. Children were given several kinds of numerical tasks; number reciting, counting blocks, counting circles, number choice, number reading and number writing for young children, and calculation, fingers guessing, knocks counting tasks, numerical formula and other tasks for older children. The results showed that the acquisition of number words and the one-to-one principle influenced on number reading task in young children, and the one-to-one and cardinal principle influenced on number reading task in older children. Number writing emerged after the acquisition of number reading. The results of longitudinal study revealed that numerical development was affected by interpersonal relationships and environmental print.
These findings were discussed on the change of relationships among numerical tasks and number reading or writing with age.
