“…The increase in scores recorded by P1 shows the use of representation introduced with the "Let's Add" kit helps children understand the concept of addition better. Coinciding with the study by Bautista et al (2019), the use of representation helps children understand the process of determining the difference between 2 different quantities in Mathematical operations.…”

Early mathematics or also known as early numeracy is one of the important areas of learning for children's cognitive development at an early age. The learning of Early Mathematics has the goal of fostering young children's capabilities for problem-solving and their interest in mathematics Therefore, a fun and effective learning experience of Early Mathematics very important for prepares children with various important Mathematical concepts in preparation before entering Standard One. One of the ways to enhance the process of learning and to provide a more enjoyable experience of solving Early Mathematics problems is by using representations. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify how representation can help the mastery and support the learning of Early Mathematics to prepare children with a good concept of Mathematics, especially in addition. A total of two 6 years olds children involved as a participant in this study. Descriptive analysis shows that representation can help children make problem solving to the addition operation better and more accurately, as well as easily. The high score in post-test compared to pre-test score also proves that the use of representation in the teaching of additional concepts for Early Mathematics can help children understand Mathematical concepts more effectively. It is hoped this study can serve as a guide for early childhood teachers to provide a more enjoyable experience of solving Early Mathematics problems.

“…Teachers worldwide have employed various teaching practices including utilizing realistic mathematical education, multiple representation usage and integrating various technology devices in mathematics classrooms to enhance students' mathematical understanding (e.g. Bautista, Habib, Eng Bull, 2019;Kaur, Koval & Chaney, 2017;Papadakis, Kalogiannakis & Zaranis 2017;Ulusoy & Incikabi, 2019). However, it is quite difficult to gauge how students gain conceptual understanding since this is not observable in a straightforward manner.…”

An important objective in mathematics education is to ensure learners' comprehension of the subject through effective teaching and learning, as emphasized by many countries worldwide, such as the United States, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia in terms of the organization of mathematics and its curriculum documents. This paper explores young children's (6 years old) use of multiple representations in understanding the concept of addition during problem-solving activities.The study employed a case study research design, comprising two young children in one preschool centre. Data collection included observation, dialogue with the children, and an analysis of various creations and usage of representation that shed light into both children's capacity in utilizing different representation forms and performing translations. The findings unveiled the children's capability in using a variety of representation forms, and performing translations within, and between different representation forms (with prompting). This study discusses the importance of facilitating the early development of young children's use of multiple representations and performing translations to support their deep comprehension of the concept of addition.
