What awesome stuff did you do this weekend?

Multiple Choice

According to Piaget, what stage of development are you currently in?

• concrete operational

• sensorimotor

• preoperational

• formal operational

Multiple Choice

When asked, “If Kelly is taller than Ali and Ali is taller than Jo, who is tallest?”, Mary says she doesn’t know who Kelly or Ali or Jo are so she doesn’t know their height. When asked the same question, Frank can deduct the answer because he can think hypothetically- solve a problem with physically seeing or experiencing it.

What Piaget stage is Mary in?

• Sensorimotor

• Preoperational

• Concrete Operational

• Formal Operational

Explain why Will is in the Sensorimotor stage of development.

Will -

Will is displaying object permanence because he thinks objects like his mommy’s face no longer exist when she covers it with her hands.

Multiple Choice

Janie and Bobby are playing with building blocks. They have built a big, tall pile of blocks.

Soon he will understand that even though the shape changed, the amount of the item remains the same.

What developmental stage is Janie in?

• formal operational

• preoperational

• concrete operational

• sensorimotor
