Özet: Abstract The objective of this study is to determine the effect of mental arithmetic education on the visual perception development of five-year old children. The study was conducted at Ministry of Agriculture and kindergartens in the academic year 2013-2014. The study employs control groups with “pre-test, post-test” experimental design. The experiment made use of the results of the FVP pre-test results in order to equate the visual perception levels of the experimental (15) and control (15) groups. FVP Test was employed as the data collection tool. Test comprises five sub-dimensions. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient was .84. Mann Whitney U- and Wilcoxon Signed Ranked tests were used in order to test the significance of the data obtained from FVP test in statistical terms. The results of the study suggest that mental arithmetic education offered additionally in the curriculum could support the visual perception development of the experiment group students
