| Research Abstract |
We have investigated the process of acquiring, teaching and learning effects of the spatial concepts which are considered the important concepts on the mathematics education.
First, concerning the developmental investigation, the results showed that it was the most difficult for 3-year-old child to perform the line symmetry figure task to the oblique axis and also develop solid objects. As regards this development, the rapid progress was made by the 4,5-year-old children. It was suggested that the period of 4,5-year-old is the important period to form the basement for the ability of drawing the development figures.
And concerning the strategies of learning, it had been hypothesized that the acquisition of the line symmetry concepts was improved as the results of having more chance of watching the line symmetry trough the training of folding "Origami" for one month. Consequently a part of effects was recognized, but, it was not found clearly which aspect was concerned with. As investigati

on of leaning strategies of developing solid objects, three strategies were attempted.The first one was the strategy using body image in developing solid objects, the second using the imitation of process of developing solid objects by hands, the third learning the principle of developing solid objects by lecture. The results showed that the training of the sensory image was most effective.
Furthermore concerning the learning situation, the effect of the interaction between model and learner was investigated on the different types of model using the development solid figures tasks. Consequently the learner's performance level was heightened by the model's demonstration and instruction about strategies. The strategies with verbal explanations about the procedures of constitution was more effective than one without verbal explanation.
And also concerning the culture differences between Japan and France, the impression about four different patterns was investigated, and results showed its differences between them. Less
