Piaget's Concrete Operational Stage
Summary
TLDRIn this educational video, siblings Jordan and Avery explore Piaget's Concrete Operational Stage through various activities. They start with hypothetical scenarios to demonstrate logical reasoning in children aged 7 to 11. Avery successfully predicts outcomes like a dog escaping a broken fence or a fish dying without water. They then move to mental math problems, which Avery solves accurately. The video also features a Lego robot built by Avery, showcasing his creativity and interest in robotics. Finally, a water activity illustrates the concept of volume and capacity, emphasizing that two containers can hold the same amount of water despite their shape differences.

Q & A
What is the age range for the concrete operational stage according to the video?
-The concrete operational stage is for children aged 7 to 11 years old.
What does the term 'concrete' in the concrete operational stage signify?
-In the concrete operational stage, 'concrete' refers to children's focus on tangible and immediate experiences, such as scenarios and physical objects.
What is an example of a scenario presented to Avery in the video?
-One of the scenarios presented to Avery was, 'If a backyard where a dog is kept has the fence broken down, what do you think would happen to the dog?'
What was Avery's response when asked about the outcome for a fish if its water is drained out?
-Avery responded that the fish would die if all the water is drained out of the fishbowl.
How did Avery explain the potential danger of running across a highway at night?
-Avery explained that a person running across a highway at night could die because they might get hit by a vehicle, as it's dark and visibility is low.
What mental math exercises were demonstrated in the video?
-The mental math exercises included simple addition and division problems, such as 5+4, 6+5, 7+10, 12+5, 14/2, 18/3, and 12-4.
What activity did Avery create using Legos?
-Avery created a Lego robot that he could control with a remote, and he demonstrated its ability to pick up items.
Why does Avery plan to add tires to his Lego robot?
-Avery plans to add tires to his Lego robot so it can move around and pick up items more effectively.
What was the purpose of the water activity with the two Tupperware containers?
-The purpose of the water activity was to demonstrate that even though the containers were different shapes, pouring the same amount of water into each would result in both holding the same volume of water.
How did Avery respond when asked which container held more water after being filled?
-Avery initially thought that the taller, narrower container held more water, but after considering the width and the fact that the water was spread out in the wider container, he concluded that both containers held the same amount of water.

đ§ Cognitive Development and Mental Math
In this segment, Jordan introduces a video featuring his brother Avery, who is 11 years old, to demonstrate the concrete operational stage of cognitive development, applicable to children aged 7 to 11. They explore scenarios to understand the children's rationale and engage in mental math exercises. Avery answers questions about hypothetical situations involving a dog, a fish, and a person running across a highway, showing cause and effect reasoning. They also tackle mental math problems, with Avery successfully solving a series of addition and division problems, showcasing his understanding of basic arithmetic.
đ Lego Construction and Water Displacement Activity
The second part of the video involves a Lego construction activity created by Avery, who has built a robot. Jordan asks Avery to disassemble the Lego figure and count the pieces, which turns out to be 15. They discuss the concept of quantity and the appearance of the same number of Legos when spread out versus assembled. Avery also demonstrates a remote-controlled robot he built, which can pick up items but occasionally does not respond as expected due to ongoing adjustments. The video concludes with a water activity, where Jordan challenges Avery to understand the concept of volume and displacement by comparing two differently shaped Tupperware containers filled with the same amount of water, emphasizing that despite the containers' shapes, the volume of water remains the same.

Transcripts
hey everyone my name is Jordan and I'm
here with my brother Avery hello Avery
is 11 years old and today we're going to
be demonstrating P's concrete
operational stage in this stage children
are um 7 to 11 years old and it's all
about what is concrete to them um an
example is scenarios and then finding
out the rationale of what would happen
next in the scenario and also Mental
Math so we're going to start out with
some scenarios and then we'll move into
mental math
so Avery if a backyard where a dog is
kept has the fence broken down what do
you think would happen to the dog it
would get loose it would get loose okay
um if a fishbowl gets all the water
drained out of it with the fish still
inside what do you think would happen to
the fish it would die it would die okay
if a person runs across a busy highway
in the middle of the night what do you
think would happen to them they would
possibly also die why cuz they're going
to get hit and it's night time where
they can barely even see
right nobody can see you okay so now
we're going to move into some Mental
Math are you ready mhm okay so 5+ 4 9 6
+ 5 11 7 + 10 17 12 + 5
17 14 / 2 7even good job 18 / 3
six 12 ID 4 30 good job all right so we
are now going to move into a little
activity Avery has
created a little guy made out of
Legos um Avery has used a certain number
of Legos to build this creation um now I
want you to take it fully apart can you
do that
[Applause]
m
okay so these are all the Legos that you
use to build your little guy right mhm
can you count them for
me how many are there 15 there's
15 okay now this is just a small amount
of Legos MH um and that was that was a
pretty good size little Lego guy um do
you think that the Lego guy had more
Legos than this pile
no it's the same amount of number the
same amount right you just took them
apart and now they're just laying flat
out right just like when you take your
pile of peeves on your plate and you
spread them out so it doesn't look like
you ate them yeah Avery just wanted to
show everyone his little robot that he's
made it's pretty
cool it
m
a who built this me a built
this WOW here let's try to let pick up
an item real
[Applause]
quick and you're controlling this with
your remote control yes let me turn
controlling all this
moves so it's going to pick up the item
yeah
if it wants
to what do you mean if it wants to I
thought you were controlling it no I
mean like I am controlling it but there
is a little something in it I mean it
sometimes it'll it won't do what you
want yeah sometimes it won't like that
too oh okay it doesn't know plan you
mean me it does pick up stuff and
everything but I'm still working on it
here soon I'm going to get another
little kit and I'm going to add tires to
it so it can drive around and pick up
stuff so it can move okay that's pretty
cool let's do you want to do our water
activity yeah sure okay can you slide
that to the side yep
okay so these are two little Tupper wees
this one's a little bit more round and
flat this one's round and a little bit
taller um you can see the height
difference and I want you to take a good
look at them see the difference in sizes
okay now if I
poured the
same
amount of water in each
one now which container do you think has
the same amount I think both of them do
you think they both have the same amount
which one which one do you think let me
rephrase that which one do you think is
holding the most the most thank you well
this one is tinier and it's going up and
this one's wider and it has still a
little bit but it's still a little bit
wider than that but I think this one you
think one of them is holding more water
than the other even though I put the
same amount nah it's the same so both of
the same so I filled these if I filled
both of them to the top okay
yeah supp be the same they be the same
yes why is that because you pretty much
you're just putting the same amount of
water in there right it looks different
but you're actually putting a lot more
on it this one is just what spread out
spread out even it's got more wids to it
right so this one is just flatter but
you still have the same amount of water
in both right mhm okay good
job
