	Concrete Operational Stage
		Concrete operational children recognize that certain physical characteristics of objects remain the same even when their outward appearance changes.
		Concrete operational children can think through the steps in a problem and then go backward, returning to the starting point.
		Concrete operational children conserve distance; understand the relations among distance, time, and speed; and create organized cognitive maps of familiar environments.

	Concrete operational stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that Concrete Operational stage be merged into this article or section.
		The concrete operational stage is one of four main stages within Piaget's model for cognitive development.
		The stage is characterized by the acquired ability to perform simple logical operations, conservation or the ability to know that, for example, if water from a full cup is transferred to another receptacle that it will retain the same quantity no matter what shape it is rearranged in.

	Theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hallmark of the preoperational stage is sparse and logically inadequate mental operations.
		The concrete operational stage is the third of four stages of cognitive development in Piaget's theory.
		The formal operational stage is the fourth and final of the stages of cognitive development of Piaget's theory.

	Concrete Operational Students (Third Grade - Fifth Grade)
		Because concrete operational students begin with their concrete experiences and associations, rather than with a formal operation their abstractions are not as comprehensive and flexible with respects to generalizing to less or unfamiliar situations.
		Concrete operational students can identify some variables that interact with an object or system, but do not use a systematic process to identify them, usually resulting with an insufficient list of variables, and do not consistently plan and hold variables constant that are not manipulated or responding variables.
		Operations and procedures that can be indicative of formal operational thought include isolation and controlling of variables, hypothesis, combinations, probability, correlation, proportion, and formal logical reasoning.

		Concrete operations allow children to coordinate several characteristics rather than focus on a single property of an object.
		One primary difference between formal operational thought and concrete operational thought (the stage that Piaget places before formal operational thought) is the degree of abstractness the adolescent can handle (Muuss, 1996).
		Where before, in concrete operational stage, it would be necessary to see concrete examples to solve certain problems, the formal operational thinker can solve them merely by hear the verbal presentation.

	Invention by Children
		At about 6 years of age, children become concrete operational and are able to apply and use standard operations on symbols and conventional classification.
		The inventions are the same because the tools are the same - both concrete operational children and "empire" adults use plural symbols to construct knowledge, symbols based on sameness.
		Concrete Operations is the use of rules on symbols.

	Piaget's develomental stages
		Operations are in concrete situation, but not in abstract manipulation.
		Concrete operations allow children to classify several classes into a bigger group or to combine a number of classes in any order.
		The limitation of the third stage of cognitive development is that operations are only carried out on concrete objects, and limited to two characteristics at the same time.

	Paper5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		During concrete operations children begin to understand numbers, space, and classification, and they apply logical operations to concrete problems; thinking is bound to the concrete.
		Although all of the students are currently in the concrete operations stage some of them exhibit signs of the formal operational stage.
		They are currently in the end of the concrete operational and moving into the formal operational though and this is probably why there is so much overlap from the concrete to the formal operational stages.

		This thinking would be in the formal operational stage, but we feel she was probably referring to past experience with this response and not using deep intellectual thinking processes.
		We decided that she is also in the concrete operational stage.
		Her attention span showed that she is not in either the concrete nor formal operational stages but is still in the preoperational stage.

		Although Piaget thought that the concrete operational phase ended at age eleven or twelve, as pointed out by Wankat [1], there is considerable evidence that this stage persists for a much longer time for some people.
		However, the inability to rise to formal operational phase is not as much due to insufficient background as it is due to lack of focus and/or motivation.
		In this case, after reaching the formal operational phase as per Piaget's model, the next logical stage is to hone one's analytical and scientific judgment skills and climb the 'Perry ladder'.

		Children between the ages of six and twelve years of age are classified in the concrete operational stage.
		The formal operational stage is Piaget’s final stage in cognitive development, which occurs from twelve years of age into adulthood.
		This also follows Piaget’s idea that children in the concrete operational stage tend to be less focused on appearance.

	TIP: Theories
		The cognitive structure during the concrete operational stage (8-11 years) is logical but depends upon concrete referents.
		For example, the concrete operational period has more than forty distinct structures covering classification and relations, spatial relationships, time, movement, chance, number, conservation and measurement.
		Learning materials and activities should involve the appropriate level of motor or mental operations for a child of given age; avoid asking students to perform tasks that are beyond their currrent cognitive capabilities.

		According to Piaget, students in grades 3 – 5 are becoming more organized and logical in their thoughts and actions.
		Their thinking also becomes less egocentric, and they are also becoming more competent in concrete problem-solving.
		These students are slowly working towards independence as they are able to take on multiple tasks with a higher level of thought.

	Are PDAs Pedagogically Feasible for Young Children? : March 2005 : THE Journal
		According to psychologist Jean Piaget, irreversibility is one of the limitations of preoperational thought in which a child fails to understand that an operation or action can go both ways (Papalia, Olds and Feldman 1999).
		A 6 year old in the transitional phase to concrete operational stage would show characteristics in both preoperational and concrete operational thought.
		Thus, Piaget proposed that children between the ages of 5 and 8 should gradually move into the concrete operational stage (Trawick-Smith 2000).
