Examined value of construction play scores on Lunzer Five Point Play Scale at 4 years as predictor of later mathematical achievement. At grades 3 and 5, found little significance in relationship between play performance and mathematical achievement. At grade 7 and in high school, each area of construction play and standardized test scores was found to be significantly related. (Author/KB)
