The purpose of this research is to investigate actual conditions of number education on kidergarten-pupils at homes and in kindergartens, and to analyse the opinions of kindergarten-pupils' parents and thier teachers concerning number education. The subjects are 423 parents of kindergarten-pupils and 66 teachers in Sendai. This survey was conducted by a questionnaire method between November 5 and November 25 in 1964. The results are as follows. ; The parents and teachers who are teaching numbers to pupils are about 90 per cent., and 80 per cento. of them, respectively. In case of parents, the childrens' ages when number education was begun are generally between two years old and five years old, and usually mother or father teaches. In the majority of both parents and teachers, systemless methods of teaching based upon the needs, interests and questions of the children are adopted. The contents of the numbers taught at homes are mainly the Mathematical Phase of the numbers, that is, e. g. rote counting, enumeration, reading numbers, writing numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, etc. On the other hand, the Social Phase of the numbers, that is, e. g. reading clock, discrimination of figures, orientation of objects, tables and graphs, measurement of length and calculation in shopping etc. are dealt with less than the Mathematical Phase. With regard to the necessity of number education in kindergartens, 70 per cent. of parents and 85 per cent. of teachers, feel it is necessary.
