Specifically, the success of students in the fourth region which is socio-economically different than other three regions were significantly different than the success of the learners from other regions.It was found that the fifth-grade students’ operational skills were increased and passed the conceptual learning skills in accordance with the increase in grade level though the conceptual learning was higher than the operational knowledge.
