abilities on the experiments than him. I assume if Gaby was Collin’s age she would have less knowledge on the experiments due to complex of understanding of the world. The first experiment was a conservation of number task to test the children’s cognitive development using Piaget’s theory. To start off this experiment, I traced ten dimes on red construction paper and ten on blue construction paper. I cut them out and placed the red on top and the blue on the bottom. Gaby said there was the same…

There are some basic components of piagets mental…

the number one goal for my students is to see development. The main development that educators want to see is cognitive development. Cognitive development is more than filling student’s minds with facts, but the development of higher mental functions (WOOLFOLK 63). As a teacher, there are different principles of development that are crucial to keep in mind. They are that, people develop at different rates, development is relatively orderly, and development takes place gradually (WOOLFOLK 34).…
