Evaluated an instructional procedure that focused on reflective problem-solving and used young children's fascination with stars as a starting point to develop their concept of numbers. Found that test group performance on mathematics problem- solving tasks indicated developing understanding of the concept of numbers 1 through 5, compared to that of a reference group. (Author/KB)
