Q1.

While teaching fractions in a class 4 mathematics classroom, Mr. Sharma uses cut-out paper strips so that students can physically fold and compare parts of a whole. According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which developmental stage are these children in, and why is this method appropriate?

(A)

Sensorimotor stage, because infants learn through motor actions and sensory exploration.

(B)

Preoperational stage, because children rely heavily on intuitive reasoning and centration.

(C)

Concrete operational stage, because children require hands-on manipulation of physical objects to understand abstract logical concepts.

(D)

Formal operational stage, because students are capable of hypothetical and abstract deductive reasoning.
