    I interviewed both my children separately with the conservation of number tasks. I used 14 pennies; 7 pennies in 1 row and the other 7 pennies in a row spaced farther apart than the first row of pennies. First‚ I interviewed my 4-year-old daughter; I asked her if there are the same amounts of pennies in both rows. She did not ask me anything she just began to count. After she counted both lines‚ she told me they were the same amount in both lines. I was very surprised by her action and response.
