Investigating Children’s Abilities to Count and Make Quantitative
Comparisons
This study was designed to investigate children’s abilities to count and make quantitative comparisons. In addition, this study utilized reasoning questions
(i.e., how did you know?). Thirty-four preschoolers, mean
age 4.5 years old, participated in the study. According to
the results, 89 % of the children (n = 30) were able to do
rote counting and 70 % (n = 24) were able to do rational
counting. When children were asked how they knew how
many objects were in a set, 30 responded that they used a
counting strategy. Sixty-five percent of children (n = 22)
answered ‘‘zero’’ when no block was given and 21 children
answered ‘‘nothing’’ when they were asked what zero
meant to them. About quantitative comparisons, 65 % of
children (n = 22) answered correctly when they were
asked more and less questions.
