Mrs. Almagro's third graders are learning a great many new ideas and the terms that go with them, such as living thing, plot, fraction, and community. This important component of language development is best described as:
 
  a. generalization.
  b. syntax.
  c. synapse.
  d. semantics.

Question 2

Gary is a fourth grader in school, early in the school year. He has above-average ability according to intelligence tests. One day Mrs. Winton, Gary's teacher gave the class a math test, and Gary did quite poorly on it. Gary was devastated but resolved to try harder on the next test.
   Given the information in the example, what would be the best explanation for Gary's performance on the test, according to Piagetian theory?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Piaget would suggest that Gary's lack of performance was due to lack of prerequisite experiences with the topics, particularly since he is a bit above average in ability.
