We don't try to teach algebra to second graders. Based on Piagetian theory, which of the following best explains why we don't?
 
  a. Experience: Second graders are qualitatively capable of dealing with algebra, but lack the prerequisite experiences.
  b. Maturation: Students' thinking isn't mature enough to cope with the abstraction in algebra.
  c. Symbolism: Second graders have not yet developed symbolic thought.
  d. Initiative: Second graders typically lack the initiative to study a topic such as algebra.

Question 2

As a fifth-grade teacher, your best application of Erikson's theory would be to:
 
  a. Help the children experience as much success as possible to help them develop a sense of accomplishment.
  b. Help children begin to develop a sense of identity because they will soon experience the identity vs. confusion crisis.
  c. Encourage children in developing peer relations to overcome the egocentricity of fifth graders.
  d. Help children develop a basic sense of trust, for without it a person cannot move to the next stage of development.
