◉ What the stage after preoperational? (10.2). Answer: Concrete
operational stage
◉ What is the concrete operational stage?(10.2). Answer: (ages 7 to 11
years), when children develop skills in logical thinking and manipulating
numbers
◉ What happen during the concrete operational stage?(10.2). Answer:
Children in the concrete operational stage are able to classify objects
according to properties such as size, value, shape, or some other physical
characteristic. Their thinking becomes increasingly logical and
organized.
◉ What the stage after concrete operational stage?(10.2). Answer:
formal operational stage
