The diploma thesis deals with child's understanding of specific mathematical concepts in geometry, pre-numerical period, arithmetics and measuring in preschool period.
In the thesis I have explored child's knowledge and ideas of mathematical concepts and mathematics content that are common in preschool children.
Before starting first grade children develop certain ideas on mathematics content. Concept formation varies between individuals. Difference in ideas of mathematical concepts has also been noticed.
My point of interest was wheather ideas of specific mathematical concepts in a group of kindergaden children vary between individuals or they are the same. Mathematical concepts have been presented in the theoretical part. In empirical part I researched child's mathematical concepts on specific topics.
