imagination to act out

stage
At this stage children
begin to develop
concrete thoughts and
skills. From the age of
seven to age eleven.
Children are
increasingly aware of
their environment.
Children also begin to
recognize their own
thoughts and feelings.

to explain ideas using
examples. Students
should also be able to
sort objects and match
them to the appropriate
object shown.
An activity a teacher
might use in the
classroom to reinforce
learning to become
concrete might be a
picture bingo game. This
game can also be used as
a learning to for any
subject area such as
science, history, math, and
more. Word and picture

strategies.

and on, children will
use logic to understand
symbols and objects
related to math,
science, history, and
more. Children also
can form and own their
concepts and
responsibilities. This is

this stage teachers
should be using problem

An activity that the
students can conduct and
collaborate with each
other would be an
experiment on
combustion. Conducting
a science experiment as an
entire class in small
groups. This activity will
be conducted by a teacher
