This will be done by 58 preschoolers. To measure the early numeracy of these children, the Utrechtse Getalbegrip Toets – Revised (UGT-R) will be used. Afterwards these results will be compared with their results of the Cito Rekenen. Results: Results of the present study show no significant differences for gender and birth order on both tests. Conclusion: According to this study there is no significant relation between early numeracy and gender. The study also doesn’t show any significant relation between early numeracy and birth order.
