number concept, were administered to 135 second-, third- and
forth-grade children of aboriginal and non-aboriginal from
mountainous area and city area in Nantou county. The subjects
were individually interviewed. Their performences on these tasks
were qualitatively analyzed and then were quantitative analyzed
using two-way ANOVA and IRS (Itermrelationalstructure analysis).
The results revealed the following:
1. Forth graders performed better then third- and second
graders on number concept, numerationknowladge and place value
tasks. It suggested that these concepts probably getting more
development by years.
2.There was significent difference between aboriginals and
non-aboriginals on number concept, numeration knowladge and
place value tasks, but there was no significent difference
between non-aboriginals of mountainous area and city area.
3.There was significent difference among the second and
third grades children of aboriginal and non-aboriginal in oral
counting and object counting. It suggested that the difference
probably due to the influence of the cultural of aboriginal.
