Abstract: 04 young children from three kindergartens' middle classes were tested for their counting competence.We used the standard counting task to test children's principled understanding of counting.As Gelman and Gallistel (1978) have found,we deduced the stable-order principle,the one-to-one principle and the cardinality principle in Chinese children's counting.And we also found that 4-and 5-year-old children can't apply counting to solve simple arithmetic problems in number reproduction task.

Key words: counting, stable-order principle, one to one correspondence, cardinality
