The age range I selected and that represents whom I would most likely work with is Middle Childhood (6-10 years)

Physical Development- Children become taller and stronger. They are more equipped to learn.

Piagetian Cognitive Development- Children are ending the preoperational stage and beginning the concrete operations stage.  In the preoperational stage children are developing their language and using symbols.  

Sociocultural Perspective on Cognitive Development- Vygotsky’s theory on development depended largely on the sociocultural interactions of children.  Vygotsky feels children this age need to interact with those who are more capable and advanced in their thinking.  

Putting it into Perspective- Imagination is one thing that should be stressed when teaching children this age. Talking and interacting with peers and being hands on is extremely important as well. Using manipulatives in the classroom is also important. It’s very important that children are given the time to play and interact with others during this stage.
