Finally, the study also discussed if there is difference between the Vietnamese and Taiwanese children in the mathematics performance.
The research objects are 30 first-grade Vietnamese children and 30 Taiwanese children of the elementary school in Chunghua. The results show that there is strong correlation between math language comprehension and math word-problem solving abilities of the Vietnamese children. Moreover, there are significant differences in the performance of mathematical language comprehension when children with different background factors such as schoolwork achievements, after-school place, maternal age and father’s education. Also, there are significant differences in the performance of the math word-problem solving and math language abilities when children with different background factors such as schoolwork achievements and job types of mother.
