The current study explored the relation between children's understanding of arithmetic operations and their mathematics achievement. Children’s arithmetic operations understanding significantly predicted children's mathematics achievement, even after the effects of potential confounding factors had been controlled for. The findings highlighted the significance of arithmetic operation understanding in children's mathematics learning.
