Abstract

This study examined types of errors made by young children on the Mathematical Ability Picture Test for Young Children(Hwang & Choi, 2007). The subjects were 30 5-year-old children. The process of taking the Mathematical Ability Picture Test was videotaped and the videotape was transcribed for analysis of errors. Findings were that in most of the sub-areas, strategy selection errors were dominant, followed by comprehension errors. Second, there was a tendency for boys and girls to make similar types of errors in every sub-area of the Mathematical Ability Picture Test for Young Children.
