Document Summary

Spatial relationships: children in the stage of concrete operations, better understand spatial relationships than those in the preoperational stage, tied to their increasing sophistication with symbolic thinking. Improvement in number line estimation, along with improvement in: computational estimation, estimating the sum in an addition problem, numerosity estimation, estimating the number of candies in a jar, measurement estimation, estimating the length of a line. Children generally learn to ______ before they learn to _______: add; subtract, subtract; add, understand fractions; do word problems, do work problems; understand fractions. Moral reasoning: piaget proposed that there are 3 different stages, stage 1: (preoperational, eg.
