The purposes of this study were to assess childern's represent soild and geometric figures, and to define the relationship between their ability to represent solid figures and that to represent geometric figures. The subjects of this study were 120 three, four and five-year old children. The collected data were analyzed by F-test, Scheffe-test, T-test and Pearson's correlation analysis.
The result of this study is as follows: First, there was age of children does have a significant impact on their ability to represent solid figures. However, gender does not play a meaningful role in this category. Second, there was age of children does affect their ability to represent geometric figures the older they are, the more ability they display to represent geometric figures. On the other hand, gender does not apparently affect the ability of young children to represent or comprehend geometric figures. third there exists a relationship between the representation by young children (ages 3-5) of solid figures and that of geometric figures.
