Zusammenfassung
Different factors contributing to solving oral addition problems were analysed, specifically the influence of their semantic structure and oral expression. Two groups of 5 year old preschoolers and two group from first grade were administered various addition tests. Results confirmed that task difficulty was closely related to its semantic structure, the unknown quantity, and the help available at hand. Children�s strategies are a function of their age and type of problem. Some educational implications arising from this study are also discussed.
