Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - Nursery Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, grade: 1.5, Vietnam National University Hanoi (Psychology), language: English, abstract: The article focuses on problem solving skills of 5-6 year old preschoolers when being familiarised with numbers at kindergartens. Learning materials were designed that include 4 situations in which the children need to suggest their solutions to the problems. The sample is 150 children in some different kindergartens in Hanoi. The result revealed that children had many different solutions in one situation. They had some good ways to solve the problem how to arrange, classify and compare things but their ability to use of the numbers in reality was still limited. Thus, teachers should give children more chances to work with quantity representations in both playing and learning activities in kindergartens.
