My name is Samantha and I am a year 1 teacher. I used Piaget’s conservation tests within my classroom to give me an idea of what level of thinking my children are at. Please see image 3 that is attached. The boy in this photo was presented with 2 glasses and the same amount of water (measured with the child) was placed in each. When asked what one had the most water in it, this child pointed to the glass on the left (the taller one). I asked him why and he said “Because actually it’s bigger and that means more”. Through my readings I have discovered that this is a very typical response for a child at this age as they do not have the ability to think logically (Puckett & Black, 2001). After gaining this type of knowledge, I then set up my programs to involve a large amount of exploration with conservation issues so that children can develop knowledge (schemes) which will help them to develop logical thinking. Some activities I suggest for other teachers are water tables, measuring activities and comparing exercises.
