If you are unable to access a site as described above, then you may submit a research paper that addresses the best practices in games/activities/materials for children available to help children to overcome types of immature thinking (i.e., centration, egocentrism, precausal thinking, nonconservation, irreversible thinking, and transductive reasoning) and to develop logical thinking typical in middle childhood (e.g., seriation, transitive inference, classification, conservation), as described in Piaget’s theory.
Describe which preoperational type of thinking each game/activity/material addresses and how each would help the child to gain one of the types of operational thinking.
