First grade students generally have difficulty in converting concrete to abstract thinking. This qualitative research that is concerned with concreteness fading process of students. The study aimed at describing the concreteness fading process of 1st grade elementary school students. In order to find out the concreteness fading process students can be seen based on enactive, iconic, and symbolic stages are known through learning, tasks and task-based interviews. The results generally show that students are still having difficulty solving mathematical equivalence problems in a symbolic stage objects. In general, first year students still have difficulty. Difficulties experienced that solve problems related to the sum of the natural numbers more precisely in a problems of mathematical equality. © 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
