Representation of number concepts in three-year-olds children was investigated in the present study. Children were given both reconstruction and composition problems. In the reconstruction problems, children were asked to reconstruct the numbers, which a experimenter presented. When children dealed with numbers 4 and 5, they opened their fingers directly to 3 of the numbers and did the fingers 1 by 1 for the remaining numbers over 3. In the composition problems, children were asked to compose a number with another one. It was significantly easier for children to solve the problems with 2 and 3 as addends than ones with 4 as addend. Furthermore, children depended on direct strategy more often than overt one to the addended number 2 and 3. These results might suggest that three-year-olds children would represent numbers 1 to 3 as a firm structure. These results were discussed in terms of a mental number line in a representational system of numbers.
